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. Canvas topped roof with

fairy lights strung across it makes a beautiful setting for

the evening or a great space for mingling. Also excellent

for a cocktail function. It can seat up to 60 for dining or

80 standing. This is an all weather area as it has sides

that can slide up and down depending on the conditions

and is also 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

We had our wedding here at The Tea House on Friday the 5th of December,

can't rave about this venue enough. We had our ceremony outside by the

pond, and an outside bar and our reception in the conservatory. Vanetia and

her team were absolutely amazing on the night, nothing was too much trouble

and it all came together so much better than we even imagined. If you want

somewhere for an intimate wedding this is it!!
