Further down along the King’s Road, Bluebird is introducing the Bluebird in Bloom Afternoon Tea running from 23rd-28th May served in the courtyard and restaurant. The tea will feature a floral feast including the bespoke Bluebird in Bloom Maître Choux éclair, created by Michelin-starred pastry chef, Joakim Prat, who created the sky blue coloured éclair inspired by childhood afternoons spent picking berries and eating creamy yogurts in grandmother’s kitchen.
And, in celebration of Bluebird’s 20th anniversary and the Flower Show, the restaurant has teamed up with Jo Loves, the new fragrance brand created by Jo Malone, to transform the space into a magical Blossom City. Settle into a lush secret garden, overflowing with foliage, flavour and fragrance, ranging from the exotic to the classic, as bartenders, working exclusively with Jo Loves, the Bluebird bartenders have created a playful and interactive cocktail menu inspired by Jo’s exquisite signature scents.
Head bartender Egzon Kastrati has created a collection of cocktails designed to stimulate the senses. Guests can expect to fashion edible floral garnishes, breathe in scented aroma clouds and even eat their chocolate glassware after they have drained their cup. We can’t wait to try the No. 42 Flower Shop made with vanilla infused vodka, Chambord, lemon, lychee, rose, cherry and rose champagne muddled with dry junipers, pomegranates and raspberries served in a silver watering can and garnished with dried lavender and an edible flower arrangement.
