 High
Tea is a wonderful tradition; this great British custom
was started by Anna the Duchess of Bedford in 1830 when
she ordered a light meal to stave off her hunger pangs between
lunch and dinner. By the 1840's wafer thin slices of bread
holding finely chopped cucumber, platters of light sponge
cakes and freshly brewed pots of tea were being served all
across London. The Victorian era saw Afternoon Tea established
as a British staple. Tea became a time for ladies to gossip
and show off their prettiest china.
So step back in time, indulge your tastebuds and experience
a time gone by with a glass of French bubbles on arrival,
crisp white linens, fine china, antique silver, freshly
roasted coffee ,special teas served with sugar cubes, milk
or lemon slices. Dainty sandwiches, sweet treats, gourmet
savouries, buttermilk scones with berry jams and crème
all served on traditional tiered plates.
Our exquisite High Teas are all about elegance and etiquette
and can be taken each Sunday from October to March in the
dining room, drawing room, conservatory or in the garden.
Enjoy the peaceful ambiance of this heritage listed Victorian
Villa whilst taking an hour or two out of your busy day
or you may wish to celebrate a special day with family and
friends! Or why not celebrate a special birthday for Mum
