From scones to macarons, afternoon tea has come a long way from cucumber sandwiches and trends have changed from floral tea rooms to bottomless brunch. Whatever way you have it, in which ever setting you prefer, our presentation solutions are available to cater to the most extravagant tables.

Never under estimate a cake stand, they’ve been used for so long for a reason. Most diners expect this at an afternoon tea table. It’s no cliché, it’s essential. They provide the best presentation for a wide selection of small bites, especially at a small table. Saving space and service time.

“But we want something different”

We hear you! Many of our customers want to break the mould, that’s why they come to us. Our team love to visit venues and we’re pretty clued up too. Why not get in touch for a personal experience next time you want to buy. We can show you all that’s new, all that’s popular and maybe bring some new ideas to the table.

We regularly explore what’s on trend – and what use would we be if we didn’t sample all the menus?! It’s just good market research.

Glass plates.

When you’ve spent hours putting together stunning detailed little tastes, full of decoration and colour, you want them to shine! Maybe you’re worried bold, patterned crockery will steal the show. Glass gives luxury/contemporary feel, perfect for high end venues. Desserts will float onto the table allowing colours to pop from the plate.

Cocktail Trees.

Because sometimes a cup of tea isn’t going to cut it. They make a stunning centrepiece to substitute a cake stand. Surround with boards, trays and presentation plates.  When your venue has skilled bartenders and beautiful glassware, why not include them in your afternoon tea. Our cocktail trees are legendary, and it’s easy to see why. Instagram-able and guaranteed to start the party right. Suitable for any stemware.
