Winner of the prestigious International Valrhona Cercle V challenge for the UK in 2023 and a multi-medal recipient at Salon Culinaire, Szilard’s arrival marks a new chapter for Mar Hall’s culinary journey.
At the heart of his vision is the transformation of Afternoon Tea in The Gallery, an elegant, light-filled space where guests can slow down and savour each moment. With a renewed focus on artistry, seasonality, and flavour, Szilard’s menu will showcase refined patisserie and hand-crafted indulgences inspired by Scotland’s rich natural larder. Every element, from the delicate pastries to the sustainable, locally sourced ingredients, has been thoughtfully considered to offer a truly memorable experience.
Whether marking a special occasion or simply spending time with loved ones, Afternoon Tea at Mar Hall is set to become a highlight of the resort, elevated by Szilard’s expertise and passion.
