Valentine's Day Vintage Party - 14th February

With Valentine's Day due why not treat your loved one to a vintage Valentines Tea Party. A Vintage Valentine Party is a super way of celebrating and intimate afternoon tea together with lovely food, and romantic music, or if you like party atmosphere why not extend your invitations to friends and family. To make it more fun choose an era and all dress for that time period, for example: Titanic and Downton Abbey, Board Walk Empire/Prohibition of the 1920s and 1930s, Miss Marple and tea in St Mary Mead, VE day, Darling Buds of May, and so on. If you cannot hold your party on Valentine's Day hold it on the Saturday or Sunday before or after. These are spiffing days for parties and if you have an afternoon party it gives you time to recover from too much tea drinking (ahem!) if you are due back in work the following day - perfick!

We can supply you with decorations, vintage china, silver ware, candelabras, sandwiches and cakes. We will deliver the day before if you are supplying your own food, or on the day if we are supplying your food, and collect the day after. You will not be expected to clean the hired items, we will do this for you after collection for no extra charge. You will also need to decide if you require the china to be matching, all one pattern and colourway, or mis-matched, which is the most popular and more fun.

For a party of 8, (or 4 couples) we supply just the right amount of crockery, decorations and suitable tableware for £7.95 per person and you supply your own food. You will be hiring the following:
8 x cups, saucers, teaplates
8 savoury knives
8 dessert forks
8 teaspoons
2 milk jugs
1 sugar bowl & tongs
2 large teapots (6-8 cups in each)
2 large sandwich plates
1 single tier cake place
2 two tier cakes stands
1 tablecloth & 8 napkins
1 metal jug for flowers (you supply the red roses!)
1 candelabra

If you would like us to supply finger sandwiches and cakes for your guests the price is £10 per person.
We usually supply two types of finger sandwiches, you can choose from:
Salmon & Cream Cheese
Cucumber
Egg Mayo & Cress
Ham & Mustard

You can choose from two of the following cakes:
Victoria Sponge
Lemon Drizzle Cake
Fruit Loaf
Scones, Jam & Clotted Cream

We can also supply champagne, Belgian chocolates, iced cup cakes, and other luxuries at additional costs if required and depending on your budget vintage games, outdoor ludo, croquet and chess, background music of the era you have chosen, plus ideas for table gifts for your guests. We also have staff available to wait on you at extra costs. They will be dressed in vintage style black with white pinnies and will serve, clean up and remove all hired items on the day charged at an hourly rate.

Please Note: The above prices do not include delivery or breakages insurance which are part of our standard Terms and Conditions.

Vintage Styling Service

If you would like advice on how to style your event and also some help in preparing it all, then we offer a personalised, bespoke service.   With so many different aspects to an event sometimes it can be quite overwhelming.  Especially if it's the day before a wedding.  


We have experience in preparing for over 300 guests professionally in both a hotel, marquee or garden party.  We can offer you advice on how to style your tables, decorations, even the type of props that would be suitable.  Whether you are holding a 1940s Victory Party, Vintage Wedding or Alice in Wonderland Tea Party for children just ask!


For a small charge of £50 we will meet with you at your chosen event and discuss how you can utilise the room to your best advantage and discuss what props you can hire from us, or we can obtain for you to suit your era or theme. The day before when delivering the items you are hiring from us we will stay and help you style and put your room together to ensure EVERYTHING is in place.
