An Exquisite Easter
From striking Easter eggs to lovingly created Goûtea miniatures, this season has an extra spring in its step. Discover a collection inspired by the Patisserie’s Hyde Park neighbour, including the Hazelnut illusion and playful Squirrel signature with notes of croustillant praline and fleur de sel. Easter brings limited-edition cocoa creations – for the definitive egg hunt, from 9-21 April.
Springtime Signatures
This season’s collection is an ode to the joys - and flavours - of spring. At its core is the Red Apple, a fairytale illusion with a caramelised and fresh fruit heart. The croustillant and gianduja notes of the Hazelnut are all-round exquisite, and the plant-based Passion Fruit and Grapefruit Pavlova bring zing and zest to the table. Meanwhile, a springtime bouquet of vanilla classics with a Cedric twist include the blossom-white Flower and Saint-Honore, in made-to-share editions – with the Peanut Paris-Brest a scene-stealing centrepiece.
Time for Goûtea
A showcase of pâtisserie elegance, Goûtea fuses the French tradition of sweet snacking with the best-of-British afternoon tea. From Fruits and Flowers to cookies and donuts, this season’s menu is dedicated to all things bold and beautiful. Following savoury navettes, discover an edit of the chef’s in-miniature masterpieces. Slice into the just-plucked Red Apple and Passion Fruit Entremet, a pair of trompe-l'œil triumphs. Break open the bronzed Peanut Cookie. Then enjoy the sunny-side-up Grapefruit Pavlova for a brilliantly bright finale.
CHEF’S COUNTER
For front row seats to the theatre of the pâtisserie, Cedric Grolet presents the Chef’s Counter. This one-of-a-kind dining experience places guests at the pass, giving a rare window into the kitchen – and the techniques and flair of the pastry chefs. Enjoy a pastry tasting menu of seasonally shifting masterpieces - six sweet and two savoury courses - sip champagne and watch showstopping creations come to life.
CELEBRATION CAKES BY CEDRIC GROLET
From that standout feast to a magnificent wedding centrepiece, celebration cakes by Cedric Grolet are exquisite, edible works of art. Choose from three re-imaginations of the classic Saint Honoré which all cater for 70 or more guests: a tall and tiered creation, a showstopping single tierred cake or stunning number-shaped delights, all available in either decadent vanilla or chocolate.
Le Petit Déjeuner
For a deliciously different start to the day, Cedric Grolet puts his spin on breakfast at The Berkeley Café. Opt for a curated selection of signatures, including petite viennoiserie, an exquisite Waffle Flower or slice of French toast, followed by fresh fruit perfection. Or go à la carte for just-baked croissants and daily specials, accompanied by a get-up-and-go juice, coffee, tea – or glass of ice-cold champagne for extra indulgence.
