Afternoon Tea By The Sea is the brainchild of two sisters from London, Monica and Gillian Wharton. Having worked in the City and across Europe and the Americas for many years in Banking, PR and Professional Services, Afternoon Tea was always a treat we enjoyed when meeting with our clients or our friends.
Our Heritage
Our roots are Barbadian and despite our career choices, food has always been part of our DNA. Our Aunts graced the best kitchens on the West Coast of Barbados and as children we watched them conjour the most amazing bakes and pastries from their modest vintage kitchens – with a good old fashioned wooden spoon. Not a Kitchen Aid in sight!
The History of Afternoon Tea Afternoon Tea was created by the Duchess of Devonshire in 1840 who wanted something to fill the hunger gap before dinner. The pick-up, put down small plate phenomenon was perfect for social gatherings of the time, allowing people to socialise in a less formal seating setting.
No ordinary Afternoon Tea. When creating our Afternoon Tea Service, we wanted it to be an unforgettable experience based on:
- The Ambience – elegant. Afternoon Tea should feel luxurious and be the occasion you want to feel special and dress up a little.
- The Taste. You may say there is only so much you can do with sandwiches and cake. But Afternoon Tea requires the same culinary skills and craftmenship seen in the top kitchen across the world. If it doesn’t taste great, we don’t serve it.
- The Look – majestic. Afternoon Tea is majestic. Visually stunning bone china and petit fours so pretty that they almost look too good to eat, adorn our tables. This elegance and attention to detail is the focus of our Afternoon Tea by the Sea service.
