Afternoon Tea Catering in Dorset
What we offer.
As afternoon-tea caterers, we have lots of experience providing a wide range of afternoon teas. Whether it's a platter available to order for a small gathering, or an afternoon-tea wedding reception, we have something for every kind of occasion.
Afternoon tea and high tea are such a great way to feed even the most picky of people — a party where all your guests are catered for, every dietary need taken care of without a separate menu.
Finger sandwiches, cakes, homemade scones, cream and jam are the starting point. From there, we'll build your menu to your wishes, adding savoury items for a full high tea if you'd like.
We'll take care of it
What you don't have to worry about.
If you like the sound of finger sandwiches with the crusts cut off but worry about all the china needed — please don't. We provide the linen, vintage china, three-tier cake stands, tea pots, sugar bowls and milk jugs.
A dairy-intolerant or gluten-free guest? Again, we'll make sure our catering takes care of that, without a separate menu being needed.
Our staff will look after your guests, and if it's a wedding afternoon tea we'll make sure your tea pots are full and you have plenty of milk — so you and your guests can relax and enjoy the easy style that afternoon-tea catering offers.
