Afternoon Tea
Sandwiches, scones and a stand of sweet things, put together for weddings, hen dos, and any afternoon worth slowing down for.
A sandwich devoured before anyone reaches the cake stand, a freshly baked scone from a family recipe, a filling remembered from a childhood holiday: every spread starts with something like that. Savoury bites and sandwiches sit beside scones, homemade jam and clotted cream, finished with sweets built around what's local and in season.
Savouries
Smoked salmon with cream cheese, capers and lemon on granary. Wiltshire ham with homemade Somerset apple chutney. Juniper and venison sausage rolls with seasonal piccalilli. Roast beef, horseradish and rocket on rye. Fillings that change with the season.
Scones & Preserves
A classic fruited scone with jam and clotted cream, or a savoury version shaped to your own taste. It's usually the scones guests remember first.
Sweets
Lemon and elderflower meringue tartlets. Dark chocolate and woodland berry opera cake. Rose madeleines. Cherry and dark chocolate tarts. Raspberry brownies with sea salt. Every sweet on the stand is chosen with you.
From Classic to Grazing Table
Some afternoon teas stay close to the classics. Others grow into a full grazing table, with a pavlova centrepiece, a cake for cutting, salads beside the sandwiches and plenty to come back to through the afternoon. The conversation is the same, just a longer table by the time the day arrives.
From enquiry to wedding day
Enquiry
Fill out the enquiry form with your date, venue, guest numbers and any ideas already forming, so availability can be checked straight away.

Conversation
Once availability is confirmed, a short call to work through your day and what you have in mind. A £100 deposit secures your date if you'd like to go ahead.

Design
Closer to the day, a full consultation to work out size, style and finish, usually held a few months before the wedding.
​
Delivery
Finally, the finished afternoon tea is delivered and set up at the venue on the day.
The practical details
Cost
Afternoon tea starts from £700
It is priced per head depending on the items chosen.
Delivery
Delivery is charged at 50p per mile, return, from Ashcott in Somerset.
Timing
Anything containing fresh cream needs to be set up and eaten within four hours, so timing is planned around when your guests will be served.
Confirming with your venue
It's worth checking with your venue that outside catering is allowed before booking.
Every afternoon tea is designed individually, so final cost depends on the design itself. Enquire for exact pricing.
