Artistic Dining

Guests dined beneath THE ROYAL ACADEMY’s breathtaking Renaissance copy of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper with another gorgeous display of lush florals by NEILL STRAIN FLORAL COUTURE. The overall design drew inspiration from the artwork in the room, but crucially including the color scheme found in the Last Supper and including the clothing, the grapevines, and the citrus fruit on the tables. Sarah chose a bold, teal-colored chair, as seen in the clothing depicted in the painting. Everyone was nervous (except her!) that it would work: but it did! The event was catered by BUBBLE FOOD with beverages by HOLY WATER. Again, guests enjoyed food from across the British Isles, culminating in a creative dessert presentation of the Last Supper. Chef Jens Nisson created the dessert within a box frame: the rice paper edible replica of the masterpiece was designed to be smashed through to uncover the dessert of Scottish raspberry petals with Tonka bean ganache and vanilla sponge. British sparkling wine house NYETIMBER provided a paring of the first ever Prestige Cuvée made in England, their 1086. Adam McVay, the founder of specialist drinks service Holy Water, delighted guests with original cocktails. His “God Save the King” is a surefire favorite for Summer 2023: Aperitif

A moving vocal solo of Adele’s “Easy on Me,” was performed by ALR MUSIC.

Bramble Vermouth, cherry Amaro, and clarified rhubarb.
