  During the COVID pandemic Claridges used to send us community NHS nurses fresh food and dessert everyday, the brownie was the best brownie I've ever tasted. Thank you for looking after us during a difficult time

  James Martin, who trained as a pastry chef, commented that you can overcook the Sunday roast and it'll still taste perfectly okay, but getting pastry correct is another thing altogether.

  His little smile when he says &quot;I love piping&quot; twice. <br><br>It is one of the most satisfying steps in pastry, a meditation of flow.

  I can therefore conclude that I want a proper afternoon tea experience at least once in my life.

  no shouting and swearing. just pure respect to everyone in his kitchen. this is how a head chef should behave with his team. very refreshing.

  i&apos;ve worked as a waiter there and honestly, the sheer focus on a system and structure to get everything out at the exact same moment is amazing

  He’s absolutely correct.. pastry might look simple, but it has so many different steps, and each one has to be perfect or you might as well start over. You can tell how well the team works together by how calm everyone is. That service looks absolutely delicious!
