“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as Afternoon Tea”
Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady
Bringing all that is wonderful about English tradition to your table. We are always excited about setting up a Traditional English Tea Party.
We bring everything to a venue of your choosing and set up the party using only the finest vintage china, beautiful linens, cutlery, stands and dishes…..not forgetting the music and flowers of course.
During your party you will only need to chat and enjoy the company of your guests as we serve you for two sumptuous hours, allowing you and your friends to indulge in your choice of yummy cakes and traditional afternoon tea delights.
You can choose from a full spread to include your choice of savouries, cakes and of course cupcakes/cake pops. Or you may prefer to have a lighter (hhmmmmm!) party indulging only in the sweet stuff! Either way you will have a wonderful time and you won’t even have to clear up a crumb…… we do that too!!!!!!
We can cater for any tastes…. the following will give you an idea of the sort of savoury and sweet items we can prepare to tempt you and your lucky guests!! The full Tea Parties include 3 x savouries and 3 x sweet choices. Cake only parties include a choice of 3 sweet items. Other items can of course be included at an additional cost.
