Afternoon tea is a lovely concept that lends itself beautifully to so many occasions, the food can be served from a buffet or a selection can be placed on each table for guests to share. For a special vintage feel we can provide vintage bone china in place of our standard white china. The meal can be served with tea and  coffee and elderflower cordial or traditional lemonade.
