FUNCTION ROOMS

There are several areas in The Tea House which are ideal for private functions. You can take just

one area or you can hire out the whole restaurant. Each area has its own style and charm and most

do not need decorating.

The Gold Room

This room has warmth and elegance with gold wall-

paper, black velvet chairs, chandeliers and beautiful

drapes. Paired with the white tablecloths and pretty

china this is an elegant room for something special. This

room can cater up to 15 people in one long table but it

can also extend into another smaller room where we can

get 23 on the one table.

The Silver and Blue Room

Based on the Orchid Room in the Dorchester in

London this room is pretty as a picture during the day

and as classy as Audrey Hepburn at night. It has French

windows all around which let in wonderful light all year

round. It has chandeliers, blue velvet chairs, a blue

velvet booth and can seat up to 55. It is also completely

without steps and so is perfect for wheelchairs.

The Conservatory

Our latest addition to The Tea House, this is like a marquee at our

back door. A canvas topped roof with fairy lights strung across it

makes for a beautiful setting for the evening or a great space for an

lunch in the garden. The Conservaotry is an excellent space for a

cocktail function as there is plenty of room for mingling especially

with the garden to extend into. It can accommodate up to 70 guest

for dining and up to 90 for standing. This is an all-weather area as it

has sides that can slide up depending on the condition and is heated.

WEDDINGS

The Tea House is the perfect venue for an elegant wedding. Set in a quaint 1890’s villa with chandeliers,

velvet chairs and a beautiful setting with lots of character and style. Your guests will remember your

unique wedding venue for ever. And that is even before they sit down to an amazing menu of fresh and

local produce and perfect wine matches.

Ceremonies

Many couples have chosen to get married at The Tea House.

Either in our garden where there is a fountain and pond lined

with an avenue of bay trees or under our beautiful old walnut

tree that has dappled light for a romantic outside

ceremony. We can provide a white arch with flowers if

required. We also can provide topiaries and rose garlands.

Receptions

You can either take over the whole restaurant or for smaller

weddings you can just take one of our more intimate areas.

The conservatory, the gold or blue rooms.

Each table is set with white tablecloths, candles, runners to

match the rooms if want them and linen napkins. During the

day we can set them with the vintage cups and tiered cake

stands and silverware also. Provide us with your table

decorations and we will set them all up for you too.

There are many varied menu options available to you. We

can offer Buffets, Set Menus, High Teas and Cocktail Functions.

There are many options for beverages also. Pimms and bubbles after your ceremony. Tabs up to certain

amounts or only offering certain items.

TESTIMONIAL

A HUGE thank you from Rob and I to yourself and your team. Our wedding day and night

at The Tea House was fantastic thanks to every little touch you guys made perfect.

I can't thank you, in particular, enough for how calmly you helped me with changing

ceremony venues last minute. A potentially stressful situation was made completely

not a big deal by your calm demeanour and re-assuring words. The wool shed at your

offsite wedding venue was beautiful and all our guests commented that you wouldn't

have even known it was a second venue. The fact I didn't have to think of anything

for it and you just handled it for us was amazing. Truly beyond the call of duty

thank you. I hope that you know it was really really appreciated.

The tea house has always been a favourite place of ours and now made even more

special, so thank you for allowing us to have it a part of our big day.

A thousand times thank you, please pass these thanks on to your team also and we

will most certainly be back.
