– We arrange the sandwich platters, teapots, and milk and sugar jars and fill tea bowls with a variety of T2 tea bag flavours
– We begin plating up sandwiches and cover with cling film to keep them fresh
– As your start time nears, we heat the savouries (optional) and begin plating up sweets, scones, cream and jam
– We fill milk jugs with milk and add any finishing touches, ready for your event
10. Your guests arrive and you enjoy a truly memorable day
After the event
