Catering

We offer a wide range of our delicious foods for you to serve at your special celebrations.  We are, of course, high tea experts, but have done birthday luncheons and anniversary dinner buffets and weddings for large groups as well and can help you put together a beautiful event for service at home or your church or ladies’ club.  All of our menu items are available in catering portions for pick-up and are packaged in boxes and plastic tubs so that you can present them on your own trays and crystal bowls and take all the credit.  A 10% service charge will be added to all catering orders.  Please order at least 3 days in advance, however, scones, Devonshire cream, lemon curd, jam and some luncheon items can often be provided with shorter notice.

          For larger events, including wedding receptions, we can also provide full-service catering;  please inquire about hourly staffing rates. An 18% gratuity will be added to the food bill with any staffing.

           Our beautiful dining rooms also may be rented if you need a venue to hold your small event.  Some evening events such as rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, anniversary parties are possible with well-in-advance planning.  We can accommodate up to 40 guests. 

          Please set up an appointment with our catering manager to discuss your next event!
