Bradley’s Jewellers Collaborates with Michelin Star Chef to Create Limited Edition Yorkshire Rose Afternoon Tea Experience

04 Mar 2024

Independent and multi-award-winning jewellery business Bradley’s Jewellers York has collaborated with Michelin Star chef Andrew Pern of York Minster Refectory, in association with esteemed jewellery house Fabergé, to create a special Yorkshire-themed afternoon tea experience inspired by the Fabergé x Bradley’s Jewellers Yorkshire Rose Collection of fine jewellery.

‘A Yorkshire Rose Afternoon Tea’ has been specially designed to celebrate Yorkshire, including Hattingley Valley English Brut Rosé, Yorkshire Gold tea, Arlington eggs, Stamfrey Farm clotted cream and Hawes Wensleydale cheese to toast the best of the region, its people and produce. The traditional-with-a-twist menu concludes with a pink Fabergé-inspired egg dessert with dark chocolate and cherry Kirsch liqueur, in recognition of the ongoing partnership between Bradley’s Jewellers York and Fabergé.

Each element of this high tea experience has been developed in partnership with Andrew Pern, head chef of York Minster Refectory and Michelin Star owner of The Star Inn at Harome and The Star Inn The City in York. Guests can find the Grade II Listed York Minster Refectory on Deangate, complete with its exceptional views of York Minster cathedral.

Pern’s Yorkshire-themed menu includes sandwiches, cakes, scones, patisserie and, in a nod to ‘God's Own Country’, a mini Yorkshire curd tart and a zingy ginger parkin, blood orange and rhubarb trifle. All will be complemented by displays showcasing the Fabergé x Bradley’s Jewellers Yorkshire Rose collection, including brooches, earrings and pendants inspired by the White Rose of Yorkshire. Guests will also receive a £150 gift voucher to spend at Bradley’s Jewellers York and a special gift from Kay Bradley and her team on Low Petergate.

Bradley’s Jewellers York owner Kay Bradley says,

“As a proud Yorkshirewoman and local business owner, I am always looking for ways to celebrate our region and give my VIP customers something special. This opportunity to collaborate with Andrew Pern, York Minster Refectory and Fabergé to create ‘A Yorkshire Rose Afternoon Tea’ has been a dream project, and I can’t wait for guests to try our Fabergé-inspired egg dessert with dark chocolate and cherry Kirsch liqueur.”

York Minster Refectory Head Chef Andrew Pern adds,

“Working with our friends at Bradley’s Jewellers York has been a perfect way to bring out the best in Yorkshire. The beautiful Fabergé x Bradley’s Jewellers Yorkshire Rose collection is at the heart of the collaboration, and, for our part, the traditional afternoon tea classics are given the star treatment with a luxurious Michelin twist. We’ve also added a glass of Hattingley Valley English Brut Rosé to the proceedings too, as this was served when His Majesty King Charles III visited our historic establishment earlier this year. We also hope you enjoy a right royal visit too!”

‘A Yorkshire Rose Afternoon Tea’ in association with Bradley’s Jewellers and Fabergé and in partnership with York Minster Refectory will commence with a VIP launch event on Mother’s Day (Sunday 10 March) for 50 invited guests. The afternoon tea will continue through the Easter holidays and will conclude on April 19, 2024.

Sittings are available exclusively on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays and pre-booking is essential to secure your place.
