What we do Be inspired, dream, create … We love good food. We love people. And we love using our expertise and creativity to help you to design a fabulous fun filled event. We’ve taken the idea of a traditional tea party and turned it on its head. So whether you are hosting a pampering session for the mum to be, a Great Gatsby birthday party or a hen party for a die-hard fashionista, we guarantee to offer you a unique take on the classic tea party. Our indulgent and innovative menu is sure to impress and delight. We can supply you with everything you need to throw an unforgettable and completely bespoke event; from picking a theme and designing the party invites through to the activities and of course the food and drinks. We can even help with a venue if you need one.
You can choose as many or as few of our services as you like, so please do get in touch to see how we can help to turn your party vision into a reality. We understand that no two events are the same. We literally have 100s of different menu choices and can cater for any theme, whether it’s for a chocolate lover or a nut allergy sufferer. To get you started, the following pages will give you an idea of prices as well as details of some of our most popular 'Ready to Go' options. Don’t see what you are looking for … get in touch, we’d love to hear from you. Corri & Helen
PACKAGES We offer three tiers of packages as part of our 'Ready to Go' tea party options. We’ve worked hard to create inspiring menus and introduce quirky elements to these packages, however you can personalise them. You will be sent a booking form that allows you to choose the menu options that you want, so if you fancy a few more savoury options or a celebration cake instead of a cupcake then that is absolutely fine. • Tivoli – £15/head Finger sandwiches, scones with jam and cream & a selection of sweet treats • Pittville – £20/head Finger sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, savoury canapés & a selection of sweet treats • Montpellier – £25/head Finger sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, savoury canapés & tarts, a selection of sweet treats & a decadent fancy All packages also include tea, coffee and a soft drink.

Menu Choices For our Ready-to-Go parties we work hard to create innovative and delicious menus where the individual elements complement both each other and the theme, however if there is something you would prefer than our recommended selection then that is absolutely fine.

These do change regularly as we develop new ideas and tastes in our test kitchen. Our current range will be sent to you with your booking form.
