As we entered we were warmly greeted by a member of the concierge team and then shown to  The Hamptons Bar which is the perfect place to unwind from the wedding show in a very relaxed yet sophisticated dining area.

Our afternoon tea was prepared by 51’s Executive Chef, Vikas Milhoutra, who has created a tea menu with a most eclectic mix that you will be spoilt for choice.

We have sampled quite a few afternoon teas and this would have to be one of the best. With an excellent selection of cakes, sandwiches, pink rose flavored macaroons , white chocolate crowns, followed by delicious scones. With a very good service and very attentive staff it is the perfect treat you must try!

Debbie quotes, “I met Freya at the Designer Wedding Show where we were both exhibiting and Freya fell in love with my Georgina cuff – which sparked our collaboration and resulted in the beautiful Audrey shoes! I was already a fan of Freya’s designs when we met and am so happy that my brides can team their wedding day accessories with such a gorgeous pair of shoes to complete their wedding day look.”

Freya Quotes ” ‘Audrey’ has become a popular choice for brides as it compliments most bridal styles due to its contemporary, vintage, fashion forward design. Inspired after the iconic Audrey Hepburn, this T-Bar is a practical and chic alternative for someone requiring shoe straps, and in gold and black is an exquisite evening shoe. We are delighted with our collaboration with Debbie, when you bring designers together you get a burst of something really special.”
