Menus
Who doesn’t like tea & cake??
There are few things more British than a classic Afternoon Tea – Darby & Joan can provide the vintage china, the food, will dress your tables & can also provide waitresses so you can enjoy a fabulously indulgent party.
Our prices start from as little as £13.50 per guest.
This includes our starter menu – your choice of delicate sandwiches, made with salted butter & served with endless cups of tea, followed by sweet scones, thick cream & strawberry preserve.
You can then add on whatever sweet or savoury delights you wish from our additional menu.
We ask for a minimum guest list of six…we are more than happy to work with you to adapt our menu so please ask.
Table & Venue Styling…
We love to style & dress an event. Our event styling service can be used for a small tea party or an elaborate wedding. We work with flair, creativity & a real love of what we do.
£2.50 per guest for a tea party at home / small venue / restaurant.
£3.50 per guest for a wedding, party christening if your event is being held at a village hall, marquee, barn etc & we have a blank canvas to work from.
Waitress Service & Hosting your Event…
The icing on the cake…we have waitresses & can host your event too. Our girls are fabulously lovely, will serve at your event wearing tea dresses & a vintage apron. We are very proud of our D&J girls & they really add the finishing touch to any party. Please contact us for prices.
You can then sit back & enjoy yourself knowing that everything is in good hands.
