☕ “£23.95 for an afternoon tea?” We know it’s a question some of you may ask.
And honestly? We think it’s worth every penny. ❤️

There’s so much more that goes into an afternoon tea than what you see on the stand.
Our scones are homemade, as are our jam, quiches, brownies and mini sponges. We source locally wherever we can, including our ham, tea, eggs and macarons, because supporting other local businesses and using quality ingredients is really important to us.

Your £23.95 also includes unlimited tea, with plenty of varieties to choose from, and most importantly, we want you to be able to sit back, relax and enjoy your afternoon without feeling rushed. 🫖

And if your eyes were bigger than your tummy, don’t worry we’re more than happy to provide a takeaway box so you can enjoy the treats you couldn’t quite manage at home. 🍰

Behind every afternoon tea is hours of preparation, our wonderful staff, locally sourced ingredients, rising hospitality costs and the reality of running an independent business with a very tiny kitchen! 👩‍🍳

That’s also why we really do encourage you to give us as much notice as possible when booking an afternoon tea. We always try our best to have everything ready to go, but during busy periods our little kitchen and team can only stretch so far, and we never want to disappoint you.

At £23.95 per person, our afternoon tea is all about the experience. ❤️
It’s homemade food, local produce, unlimited tea, time to relax and enjoy yourself, and lots of care and preparation behind the scenes, all brought together to give you an afternoon tea we’re genuinely proud of.

And did you know our space is also available to hire for larger parties and celebrations? 🎉
Whether you’re planning a birthday, baby shower, celebration or get-together, drop us an email to enquire and we’d love to chat about what we can offer.

Thank you for supporting independent hospitality and the small businesses around us. It genuinely means the world. 🥰
📩 Afternoon tea bookings & private hire enquiries welcome - please email us to find out more.
