Mary's Tea Parties

so Mary’s Tea Parties went a little off piste last week providing the food for an exhibition showcasing the work of Punk Sculpture artist Joe Rush brought together by Coburn Projects.

equine beauty

finger sandwiches, scones and the most delicate of pastries went out of the window in favour of delights a little dirtier and more industrial.

cheese butter salt

extra mature cheesy filled mini baked potatoes, a whole load of butter and salt topped with sour cream and chives served in individual foil jackets on a grey slate tile and chilli oh yes very chilli ones too!

hot potato!

you can’t beat a sausage roll can you?  chunks of Bourke Street Bakery inspired Pork & Fennel rolls with a good dunk of Ketchup went down a storm- Mr Rush in particular developed a soft spot for them!

merrily we roll along

a great crowd showed up to support Joe and see some of his smaller pieces and sketches. this is the second time we have fed the art hungry crowd- a very different vibe last time for the rock n roll tea party for Ronnie wood.

up very close & personal

to add a sweet flourish we served Rusty Rocky Roads…pretty was very much out of the question so rough chunks of this dark chocolate delight were brushed down with edible rust and heaped onto the slate- served with great aplomb by Miss Raspberry Charlotte. the addition of ginger biscuits and sour cherries turned this kiddie treat into something a little darker and more grown up.

revolutionary road

great vibe, great art and great food. winning combo x
