PRET - A - PORTEA: The Royal Collection

To celebrate The Queen's 60 years of reign, the Berkeley hotel in London is paying a homage to the Diamond Jubilee with a launch of Pret-a-Portea: The Royal Collection. 




Pre-a-Portea is designed to add a creative twist to the classic elements of traditional English afternoon tea with cakes and pastries resembling the latest catwalk designs for the style conscious. However, from 29th May to 9th June 2012, biscuits, fancies and choux buns have been transformed to resemble the most memorable hats worn by the Royal Family to mark The Queen's 60th anniversary on the throne.
