Last weekend at The Secluded Tea Party we welcomed a real first in the form of a very grown up and interesting tea tasting workshop with the lovely Jane & Gail of Kandula Tea, a local independent tea supplier here in Cambridgeshire. These lovely ladies greeted my 14 fabulous afternoon tea guests with their friendly and fun approach to tea tasting, offering the option to purchase their favourite loose leaf tea blends by pr

I don’t know about you, but sometimes you can really just crave a simple sandwich… If I am home alone, I won’t usually make myself lunch (naughty I know!) as it always seems like so much effort just for me, so if I get hungry for something easy, I do usually crave a good old Cucumber Sandwich. Not some soggy cream cheese filled sandwich that has so much moisture in it that by the time you come to eat it, it’s all limp an

Last weekend I was witness and host to the loveliest & most civilised Hen party I have ever been part of, I was very lucky to be involved and I had a great time helping out to make this memorable for the gorgeous bride-to-be.

The Folk Museum in Cambridge is a local treasure that often gets forgotten by us all, but is also host to a gorgeous  vintage tea room which opens most Saturdays throughout the year. The museum is r

On Sunday 27th May 2012, I will be at this fabulous Vintage Jubilee event in Granchester Village Hall to bring this beautiful Cambridgeshire village home made cake and loose leaf tea.  I will be co-hosting the afternoon teas with the fabulous ladies at The China & Cakes Company and we will all be adorning out pinnies to serve you a smile and a good old gossip with our delicious freshly baked treats.  This is a fundraising

This thought crossed my mind yesterday whilst packing up the tables at my latest privately booked secluded tea party, that if somebody walked rough the door right now, they wouldn’t see a calm and cool tea party hostess sat down sipping a cup of tea and giving herself a well deserved pat on the back for a successful baby shower afternoon tea… No. Instead, they would be greeted with the hostess bent over a village h
