An evening for the Serpentine Gallery, held at a private client’s residence, we were set to produce an Indian Maharaja style feasting table. This opulent festive-inspired table showcased some of our most luxury menu items.

From table draping to antique silverware and exquisite flowers, no details were excluded.

An elegant dining table with a red velvet tablecloth, featuring a silver tray with capped desserts topped with slices of figs. Surrounding the tray are various fruits including figs and pomegranates, with decorative silver candle holders and a floral arrangement of white, pink, and red flowers, and greenery. The background showcases a classic room with ornate wall moldings, a white fireplace mantel, and brass wall sconces.

Features of the table included a whole side of salmon en croute – Fresh Atlantic salmon wrapped in puff pastry with a delicate scallop & garden herb mousse, spinach, brushed with saffron egg wash and baked to a deep golden finish. The evening also included a live Jamón Ibérico Cebo de Campo carving for guests to enjoy. Caviar and oysters finished this elaborate display.

A dessert table decorated with red and burgundy velvet fabric, featuring a large silver cake stand with a white cake topped with frosting. Surrounding the cake are sliced figs, pomegranates, grapes, and whole apples, complemented by an abundance of flowers and greenery, including roses, orchids, and other blooms. Silver utensils and serving dishes are also part of the arrangement.
