Afternoon Tea, Catering & Classes

Afternoon Tea in the tea-room
If you book in for our Afternoon Tea, you’ll need to come hungry! Expect generous portions of fluffy mini scones (with cumbrian jam and cream), chocolate dipped strawberries, lovely sarnies, loose leaf teas and of course, a selection of our delicious cakes!

Served from 1pm, from Thursday to Sunday, bookings are essential. Please give us a call to reserve a table and book early to avoid disappointment.  Here’s our Afternoon Tea menu plus a nice review from Manchester Confidential. Oh, and fret-not, we give you a doggy box for anything you can’t manage!

External Tea Parties and Afternoon Tea
If you can’t get to us why not ask us to come to you! We regularly provide an external afternoon tea cake service for any event or occasion… perfect for an alternative wedding, hen do, birthday, baby shower or christening!

We work with a fantastic vintage crockery specialist For the Love of Vintage to create a bespoke event for your special occasion. From delicious cakes to beautiful vintage crockery and table linen, we have everything covered. Our price list and menu options will be available here soon but if you require a quote in the meantime, please contact us for more details. We also work with Silver Sixpence in her Shoe to provide afternoon tea to accompany her vintage headwear making classes (perfect for hen do’s!)

Era of Experience
An Era of Experience is a travelling vintage party service created by the collaboration of four local Manchester businesses (including our good-selves!)

An Era of Experience allows guests to choose from a selection of iconic eras including 1920′s Speakeasy Socials, 1930′s Art-Deco and Fabulous 40′s & 50′s parties.

Each Era of Experience social includes interactive activities such as creative headwear workshops and vintage styling as well as a gourmet selection of nibbles and soft tipples. The Era of Experience ladies can bring their vintage services to your home, hotel or chosen venue within Manchester and beyond
