Another cup of tea
We love a great cup of tea here at Vintage Rose Catering. Depending on what you are eating should determine which blend and flavour of tea you drink, just like a good wine with a certain meal.
We can advice our guests what type of tea to drink with their afternoon tea if they wish.
Here is our simple guide based on the last 8 years of serving teas
To accompany our Lemon drizzle, Citrus loaf cakes, Orange cakes and all citrus bakes we usually choose Earl grey – a delicious blend of Bergamot and citrus undertones, it enhances every mouthful.
Whereas if you were enjoying a plain sponge say a madeira cake or an American pound cake a Darjeeling would be nice or a Breakfast blend.
Our afternoon tea blend is lovely alongside our carrot cakes or anything frosted and creamy based.
We stock over 15 regular teas and invite our visitors to taste these during their afternoon tea experience. As with a lot of things we often stick to a favourite but this is a great way of tasting new blends and enjoying ones that you wouldn’t necessarily have purchased before.
To book one of our afternoon teas please see our website https://vintagerosecatering.com/

Vintage Wedding – How to create your perfect day
To create the perfect vintage wedding you have to introduce the following into your day.
Photographs from last weeks Vintage Wedding of Paul Larkins and Jenny Donnelly.
Lots of pretty personalised items that reflect your hobbies or interests
Little hearts filled with tea, gift tagged with guests names on ensuring each person gets the correct place at the table, behind the cup a little favour box filled with a surprise! Jenny is so creative and with help from friends and family made the divine teabags and favour boxes.
These table numbers were embroidered by the bride and looked beautiful on our vintage embroidered tablecloths.
We made our own strawberry preserve, jam pot covers and labels to tie in with homespun decorations.
Lots of lovely vintage china and accessories are vital for adding that vintage elegance to any celebration. Vintage china adds that quintessential elegance to your day and we think tea certainly tastes better sipped from delicate china. Our range of teapots, sugar bowls and milk jugs add to the pleasure and art of taking tea.
Table linens especially vintage embroidered ones look very special
We have lace, embroidered, retro and plain cloths for all themes.
Here are some hanging out to dry.
Our napkins and cutlery can complete the table setting with lots of mis-matched, but co-ordinating colours we bring the whole look together. We can supply linen or paper napkins in a variety of colours and fabrics.
Next you need to arrange your catering, whether your venue supplies this or you bring in an outside caterer choose your menu to reflect your guests and the season. An afternoon tea style wedding can save your budget and allow you to create a bespoke menu of your own; if you use a company that can provide the vintage china and all of the catering with service you get a complete service instead of booking several companies to do bits on the day everything will be arranged saving you time, stress and money.
Our tea and cake table
We baked little biscuits with fondant buttons on as our Bride wanted a button theme.

Plenty of tea at the ready. We supply a wide range of teas and speciality coffees with service on the day.
After the meal get guests to type a little message to the happy couple for keeps
Guest having a great day
And Finally and the most important point to us is:
With Thanks and special wishes to the beautiful couple Paul and Jenny
Jenny looked like a Film star and made this fabulous dress herself!! Paul looked fab too
We hope they will be truly happy forever xxx
A Vintage Wedding
Last week, We had the privilege of bringing our Vintage wedding catering and equipment to the wedding of Jenny Donnelly and Paul Larkins. We had the first of our wedding consultations with the bride and groom, last year and it was obvious from the start that this would be a very personalised and creative wedding as Jenny, the bride is extremely talented, sewing her own clothes and creating gifts from up-cycled fabrics and buttons. Paul, hubby is a professional photographer and runs his own company and so with their combined love of vintage we set about planning what to make, that would add more vintage input to their day.
I commissioned a lovely piece of button art designed and made by local artist Emma as a gift for the couple. I love the work by Emma and as Jenny mentioned she was going to include buttons in her theme it was an obvious choice for me.
Next we discussed the wedding afternoon tea and as the couple wanted a vegetarian tea we all agreed on the following menu
Earl Grey Tea
Sandwiches of:
Herb and cream cheese
French Brie and Cranberry
Avocado on seeded bread
Roasted garlic, beetroot and feta on spelt bread pizza
Scones, clotted cream and our strawberry preserves
Earl grey and lemon ‘button’ teapot biscuits
A variety of our fruit frangipane’s
A selection of our home-made cakes from our boutique bakery
All to be served on our vintage china, table linens, napkins, cake stands and vintage cutlery.
We created little menu cards with dried lavender and rose clips with hanging tags, these were hand written on cath kidston cards.
The venue was at the beautifully restored Springfield Hall, Sandiacres.
A unique venue hidden for the past 50 years and now beautifully decorated in a neutral colour that lends well to any celebration. Situated next to the canal this adds to the photographic opportunities and allows a lovely area for guests to spill out to on a warm evening.
We started sewing even more bunting to fit the inside and outside of the hall. In co-ordinating colourways to blend in with our extensive collection of 200 vintage china teacups and saucers and accessories, we excitingly got out the vintage singer sewing machine and gave ‘Suzy’ a good run with the fabric

Over three hundred feet of bunting was sewn and we thank Ashley at Springfield hall for getting up on the ladders to put it all up!
