Calling all ladies, we’ve got the perfect spot for your next girls-afternoon-out! In support of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Goodwood Park Hotel continues its longstanding partnership with the Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF) with a two-month collaboration that brings together afternoon tea, wellness and giving back.
From now till 30 November 2026, L’Espresso presents the “Pretty in Kunafa” Afternoon Tea Buffet, featuring the trending kunafa in a line-up of creative dishes, alongside an array of pretty pink and green treats.

Think afternoon tea, and your mind would probably conjure up images of dainty sandwiches, buttery scones and too-pretty-to-eat bite-sized cakes and pastries. This afternoon tea buffet did not disappoint at all, for it served up all this and much, much more!
Kunafa takes centrestage, of course, in this “Pretty in Kunafa” Afternoon Tea Buffet with a whopping NINE unique dishes. We were wowed by the chef’s creative spin on kunafa-centric creations, with a tantalising spread that showcases just how versatile this golden pastry can be.
Unless you have been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of the viral Dubai kunafa chocolate, with the signature ingredient being fine, thread-like strands of buttery crisp pastry dough known as kataifi paired with pistachio. Kunafa is often associated with desserts, so it was interesting to see how it was used not just in pastries and sweet treats, but even in savoury mouth-watering creations!
Head to the carving station for the crowd favourite Pistachio Kunafa-crusted Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Sauce, featuring tender and flavourful slices of beef enhanced by the crunchy and tasty pistachio kunafa crust. Don’t miss out as well on the Pork Filo Pie with Beetroot Mash and Crispy Prawn Kataifi with cocktail sauce – the liberal use of kataifi gave a satisfying crunch to both dishes.
Pro-tip: Listen out for the ringing bell sometime during the buffet which announces the arrival of a trio of chef specialties, available in limited quantities – the Baked Salmon Filo Parcel with Herb Aioli & Ikura, Wagyu Beef Cheek with Green Pea Purée, and Green & Pink Petite Cone.
Speaking of green and pink, the chefs have really managed to deliver an amazingly pretty and photogenic spread of pink and green treats. Sandwiches, croissants and even pizza are not spared from the pink-and-green treatment – and we’re not complaining, because everything we sampled was not just pretty on the outside, but passed the taste test too.
Special mention goes to the open-faced sandwiches which are actually more like savoury tartlets with scrumptious fillings such as Crabmeat Salad with Mentaiko and Smoked Chicken with Sweetcorn, Sakura Denbu & Sesame Dressing. These bite-sized morsels pack a flavourful punch!
The kunafa theme continues on into the drool-worthy dessert spread, with delicate delights such as the Ruby Chocolate Kunafa Brownie, Kunafa Vanilla Panna Cotta and Tiramisu in Pink Cup.
Our tastebuds were won over in particular by the Pistachio Kunafa Chocolate and Kunafa Raspberry Opera, both of which really showcased the delectable flavours of kunafa and pistachio.
Other noteworthy desserts include the Pink Grapefruit Tartlet, which again manages to combine the pink-and-green design element with an explosion of flavours of textures, as well as the freshly-churned Pistachio Gelato and Strawberry Sorbet – the former had an amazingly smooth and creamy texture without being too cloying, while the latter was refreshing and natural-tasting (no artificial flavours here!) with a burst of acidity that prevented it from being too sweet.
No afternoon tea is complete without scones, and British Cream Tea aficionados will be pleased to note that there is an entire scone bar with SIX different varieties of scones (Pistachio! Maple pecan!!) and a plethora of toppings, ranging from the traditional jam and clotted cream to caramel banana and lemon curd, not forgetting Nutella for the kids and chocolate lovers.
Yoga Sundays for Good
Further enriching the experience, Goodwood Park Hotel has partnered with Jal Yoga studio for a series of morning yoga sessions on Sundays in October at L’Espresso’s Poolside Terrace. Guests can look forward to rejuvenating Sunday morning yoga sessions from 10-11am, followed by the “Pretty in Kunafa” Afternoon tea buffet at 12pm.

As part of its continued partnership with the BCF, Goodwood Park Hotel will donate $2 to BCF for every paying adult who dines at the “Pretty in Kunafa” Afternoon Tea Buffet throughout October and November 2026. This contribution will help fund programmes and services for the breast cancer community and support advocacy campaigns that save lives through early detection.
