Recommendations

​

Friends, the largest party we seat is 6-7 (ages 12+ which applies to newborns, infants, toddlers) and sittings are 90 minutes.  For larger groups, catering, private events or Tea with little ones, read on for our recommendations:

​

• Val's English Tea Shop, Greenville, RI;

• Sweet Marie's in North Kingstown RI. 

• Shelly's in Plymouth, MA

• for private events:  Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum in Bristol, RI;

​

This is by no means an exhaustive list! There are so many fun locations in Mass and beyond, and each one has something special to offer.  You can see a listing by State at DestinationTea.com

When planning, just remember to ask how long your sitting will be; for a group over six I recommend two hours.  For a shower, you'll want even longer.

​

If your event will be hosted at someone's home and you are in need of a tea party caterer,  here is a list of catering companies we've come across (but have not used personally):

 

• Bedford - tea sandwich platters:  www.princestcafe.com

• Belmont/lexington:  vintageteaandcake.com

• Danvers: freshfoodcaters.com/menus/afternoon-tea-party-catering

• Medway: sweetpeasllc.com

• Metro West:  herbs make scents offers catering of high tea and low tea:  reach out to terri for menus and pricing:  hmsteas@gmail.com

• Sandwich:  the dunbar house tea room & wine bar: thedunbarhouse.com/offsite-catered-tea-party

• Tea sandwiches shipped nationwide:  https://teasandwiches.com

​

Or, contact a caterer near you and ask if they can customize a tea menu for you :)

Best wishes with your plans!
