Adam recently visited the Wedgwood factory in Stoke-on-Trent to forge a collaboration with one of the oldest potteries in the UK. Madeleine Bar at The Grand Hotel, Birmingham was appointed as the perfect backdrop for the Wedgwood Gio Gold collection, enhanced even further when decorated with ‘mouth-watering’ sweets and treats in a brand-new Winter Afternoon Tea available until the end of January.

Adam commented: “A stunning range of tableware, complementary of Madeleine Bar, on which to present our Winter Afternoon Tea. This is also a great opportunity for my talented pastry team to showcase their chocolate and patisserie skills and enjoy a bit of creative culinary fun. It is also an incredible opportunity to work with a world-renowned brand like Wedgwood and partner with them at The Grand to launch our new Winter Afternoon Tea menu.”

Chris Bend, head of hospitality sales at Wedgwood said he was ‘delighted’ to be working with Adam to showcase the Wedgwood Gio Gold Afternoon Tea range. Winter Afternoon Tea will be served from 1pm - 5pm, Wednesday - Sunday and is priced at £45.00 per person, including a glass of Collet Art Deco Champagne for that decadent finishing touch.

He added: “The Gio Gold range is stunning, comprising of everything you would need for the ultimate Afternoon Tea experience including a beautiful tea pot, dainty cups and saucers, stylish side plates, milk jug and sugar bowl. We have thoroughly thought every element through for the perfect guest experience - this is a truly fantastic collaboration.”
