Afternoon Tea Catering

One of the fastest-growing sectors in our repertoire this past year has been the demand for Afternoon tea catering. The last twelve months have seen us providing afternoon tea for weddings, corporate events and anniversary parties.
Corporate clients often ask us to cater to afternoon tea in their office when entertaining overseas guests. With Twining’s teas, fine porcelain, classic 3 tier cake stands and professional butlers serving. Your guests have a chance to enjoy a traditional British classic. One such event saw the guests taking photos of the table and selfies with our staff.
