Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea Catering is a delightful British classic option for weddings and private gatherings. The last twelve months have seen us providing afternoon tea for christenings, engagement parties, wedding days, and anniversary parties.

Corporate clients often treat their overseas guests with a delightful afternoon tea catered right in their offices. Our Head Chef, Chris, puts his heart into crafting delicious sandwiches and beautiful pastries that showcase the excellent taste of authentic British classics, making everyone feel special!
