I must admit, it certainly doesnt feel too much like a hard days
work as I step into Julien Plumarts Boutique Et Salon de Th, on
Duke Street in the centre of Brighton.
In contrast to the striking, dark grey exterior of the boutique,
I am immediately transported to the most magnificent world of
colour beyond. I can barely believe that moments before I was
traipsing through the dreary streets to have stepped into the most
wonderfully lavish Parisian Patisserie.
Aside from the truly immaculate interior of Juliens Boutique, I
find myself totally submerged in this colourful world, surrounded
by some of the most delicious looking creations I have ever set
eyes on.
I am greeted warmly by a member of staff and shown to a table
upstairs in the Salon du Th. I dont hesitate to order an Americano
coffee, (at 2.00) as I always find this a good choice to gage the
quality of the coffee.
The first thing I notice whilst browsing the menu, is that
despite its appearance and the air of sophistication about the
place, the Salon is actually extremely reasonably priced.
I ask for a recommendation and am assured Lultime Tarte Au
Chocolate (The Ultimate Dark Chocolate Tart at 4.45 eat in) is
something only my waistline will ever regret ordering. Taking my
January diet into careful consideration, I decide it only polite to
order myself a Raspberry and a Pistachio macaron whilst Im
here.
As the delicacies arrive I am genuinely stunned. The Chocolate
Tart could be described as one of most beautiful pieces of culinary
artwork I have ever seen.
On top of the delicious looking dark chocolate mousse, sits a
perfectly formed quenelle of thin white chocolate, which I soon
discover is filled with an amazingly rich decadent white chocolate
mousse. Each mouthful of this chocoholics dream is enjoyed
immensely, although I soon realise the macarons are going to have
to come home with me as I can barely eat another bite.
The coffee is also extremely good, with a smooth deep flavour
missing that tinge of bitterness you often find. The Americano also
works par ticularly well as an accompaniment to my decadent
Chocolate tar t, cutting through the richness perfectly.
Julien opened his first business - Cocoa Patisserie on Queens
Road - in 2008, which is soon to become a brand new Julien Plumart
Cafe and Patisserie. Julien has over 20 years experience, training
and working in some of the top establishments in France and the UK.
His past includes working along side renowned chef Raymond Blanc
and recently being accredited to Lecole de la Patisserie Lenotre
Paris for his advanced macaron training and years of
experience.
If you are yet to have sampled the delights at Julien Plumart
Boutique et Salon de Th, I would highly recommend you drop in to
either of his fabulous patisseries and treat yourself to something
scrumptious. Failing that, you will soon be able to order online
and have his wonderful macarons delivered straight to your door
within 24 hours, absolutely perfect for dinner parties or as a
birthday present or as a gift to your love one for Valentine.
Julien Plumart macarons also make wonderful wedding or party
favours, and if youre looking for something particularly unique and
spectacular on your wedding day, his macaroon wedding cakes are
extremely special and not to missed.
Clare, my macaron fanatic friend, has confessed since JPB has
open in Duke Street I havent been to Laduree in London only because
Juliens macaron are far better with a wider choice of flavour, they
are cheaper and right here in Brighton.

The Greene Rooms plush surroundings and quirky layout lends
itself perfectly for smaller and more unique wedding receptions.
Located on the first floor of the hugely popular Cricketers public
house at Black Lion Street in The Lanes, The Greene Room is spread
across three interlinked rooms that provide great areas for
drinkers, dancers and diners alike!
The location is ideal, being situated just a short walk from
Brighton Registry Office and Brighton Beach, and at the heart of
the vibrant Lanes area of Brighton City Centre.
A stylish and classy dcor of funky fuscia lighting combined with
creams, purples and smooth browns help create a classically elegant
ambience that is perfect for any celebratory event. The venue has
its own self-contained bar and toilet facilities as well as
music/live music facilities. The Greene Room can host up to 65
guests for a buffet/drinks reception and up to 40 for a sit down
wedding breakfast.
The Cricketers & Greene Room have earned an envious
reputation for its quality food in recent years. There are a number
of wedding packages available; three buffet style packages
and two wedding breakfast packages. These wedding packages can
be altered to the happy couples liking and a complete bespoke menu
can be arranged with the Head Chef should there be very specific
requests. With particular favourites such as mini fish and chips
with tartar sauce, miniature burgers with smoked cheese on brioche
baps and locally cured bacon and maple syrup sausage rolls all
washed back with Roast tomato bloody Mary and celery shots, the
buffet menus always receive excellent feedback. And if a Wedding
Breakfast is the order of the day then you could expect something
along the lines of Chicken liver and port parfait, pickled walnuts,
balsamic jelly and croutons to start, with a main course of Pan
fried South Downs fillet of beef with dripping chips, smoked bacon,
baby onions and mushrooms with a brandy cream and finished off with
Dark chocolate and amaretto fondant with pistachio ice cream and
puree.
Being situated above a beautiful public house, full of character
and charm, has plenty of benefits for your guests. An interesting
selection of Real Ales and wines are available as well as a good
selection of well-known
beers, spirits and soft drinks. Packages often include drinks
reception and Champagne deals, but once again drinks packages can
be tailor made to meet the bride & bridegrooms requirements. If
youre looking for a place of interest for your wedding reception
venue then The Greene Room also provides a wealth of historical
memories. With copy letters from Graham Greene the pub was
immortalised by the author in his classic novel Brighton Rock and
memorabilia concerning Jack The Ripper who was known to use the
premises there is plenty for guests to look at and read should they
wish for a short break from all of the frivolities.
Upon booking your wedding reception at The Greene Room you would
be introduced to a member of the management team who would act as
the event co-ordinator for your big day ensuring everything runs
smoothly, and they would be your point of contact for any
pre-arrangements and on the day of course.
