AT PETER HERDIC HOUSE
Victorian Tea Parties
Nothing goes together quite like beautiful Victorian architecture and an elegant Victorian luncheon of tea cakes and sandwiches.
Our tea parties have been so often requested, whether for a bridal shower, for a baby shower or for a children’s event, that we’ve added a “tea” page to our website. Tea parties are available in both a full-service or a station/buffet format, and the menu is customizable to your tastes and dietary restrictions. Read on for a sample menu, and call to discuss a booking.
Our classic tea service begins with a selection of different teas for your guests, served in our signature Herdic mugs, followed by a plate of 6 assorted tea sandwiches, and then by a plate of 5 assorted tea cakes.
Savory tea sandwich options include…
- Chicken salad and raspberry butter sandwich
