The Pudding Parade: Puddings your Nan made

A nostalgic night of comfort, carbs and custard.

This is the event that will transport you straight back into your Nan's kitchen (if she was a pudding person!) except this time, you don’t have to do any washing up.

Join us for an indulgent, joyfully old-fashioned evening of classic British puds, hosted by our beloved Pudding Master David Clayton, who will bring his trademark pomp, ceremony and anecdotes to the glittering Music Room.

As always, there’s no queuing, no buffet and no elbowing someone out of the way for the last bit of crumble. Instead, after your main course, there's a ceremonial parade at which each table is presented with its own selection of puddings, delivered with flourish. You simply sit, admire, and heroically attempt to try every single one.
