The Perfect Afternoon Tea!

Hello!

We're in that in-between time between Christmas & Easter which can be a bit boring and dreary. A great way to brighten up these bleak wintry months is with fantastic parties and social occasions, and what could be nicer than enjoying a pretty afternoon tea with friends to brighten up a miserable January day!

Here are our essential items for a beautiful, sophisticated Afternoon Tea:















Tea

The most obvious item required for an afternoon tea! Choose traditional tea or select a variety of specialty teas for an extra sophisticated occasion - Lapsang Souchong, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Assam, Ceylong or Darjeeling.

A Pretty Tea Set
Tea should be served in a real china teapot with china cups and saucers.

Cakes and Sandwiches
From macaroons to dainty cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off, afternoon tea is the perfect time to treat yourself to an indulgent treat. Display your wares on a beautiful cake plate or tiered stand.

Flowers
Feminine flowers such as tea roses, peonies and sweet peas in pastel colours are the perfect blooms to adorn your afternoon tea table.

Pop into Strawberry House in Castle Donington to view our selection of pretty items, including vases, cake stands and so much more!
