I feel the need to share a little secret with you this week, hence the extra post from me. Regular readers will have already come across Louise Barnard, as she has contributed one of her amazing recipes from her company BabyBites back in February. Well, Louise has her fingers in many pies and alongside BabyBites she set up The Secret Service Supper Club, a ‘pop up’ restaurant that sets up for the weekend, once a month or so, in secret and unusual locations.
This weekend [May 8th/9th] the SSSC are off to Bath for a Decadent High Tea and Lazy Spring Brunch. They’ll be installed in a spectacular, historic building in central Bath, but exactly where, and what is going on in it, is their little secret. Those that book will find out 24 hours before [via email], the final secret will unveil when you arrive.
At high tea you will nibble on canapes and drink champagne cocktails. Your mouth will water as you cast your eyes along the banqueting table crammed full of dainty sandwiches and delightful tartlets. Your eyes will pop at sight of cake stands bursting with freshly baked scones and cream filled cakes.
At brunch you will drink champagne cocktails, no boring bucks fizz here, eat bagels stuffed with smoked salmon and capers, ciabatta topped with Parma ham and fig compote, home made maple and pecan granola, platters of local cheeses including an organic, un-pasteurised double gloucester from the Wye Valley and plenty more.
All this will be served up on gorgeous vintage china from the lovely people at Bristol Vintage. Lahloo tea will be providing an exciting range of teas, including a Pink Rose Bud tea which the SSSC anticipate going very well with the lavender scones. Lahloo’s tea’s are all loose leaf, fair trade, organic and from small producers.
Spring Brunch tickets for May 8th/9th @ 10.30am, can be booked here.
.
Decadent High Tea Tickets for May 8th/9th @ 3.30pm can be booked here.
The SSSC are well known in Bristol for popping up in secret locations to give diners a unique, sociable and, most of all, delicious experience. As with all SSSC events, the focus is on locally sourced, seasonal and scrumptious food and creating a sociable, fun and unusual events, unlike anywhere else.
And remember…..Shhh! Dont tell anyone as its a secret!
