A delightful treat in the heart of the English countryside

Enjoy traditional afternoon tea served in our private garden

See our video introduction ⇒

Let me take you back to a bygone era when afternoon tea was traditionally served in your own home on fine bone china and exquisite embroidered linens and lace.

Come for a little “slice” of luxury and enjoy this quintessentially English past time, taking afternoon tea in the garden room at my beautifully tranquil and secluded home.

Timeless Teas is arguably Arkesden’s best kept secret, offering a wonderfully unique, private dining experience within our own garden.

We were thrilled to recieved a ‘highly commended’ in the business awards this year.  Click below.

Everything stops for tea…

 ……is a saying that I really do take to heart, and my aim is to transport you and your guests back in time.

I take a holistic approach that encompasses all the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the timeless classic that is Afternoon Tea.

All the delightful homemade treats that I choose to bake are traditional classic recipes that were once baked regularly in the family kitchen. Simple, honest fare made from core staples of butter, free range eggs, flour and sugar, when executed well, taste absolutely amazing and continue to stand the test of time.

We all have experiences and recollections around cake, so my aim at Timeless Teas is to evoke all those strong, positive and happy memories that I believe are there within us all. When asked, everyone can readily share what their favourite cake is.

The taking of Afternoon Tea should always be a pleasurable and relaxing experience with three key components at its heart – connection, conversation and most importantly CAKE!

Everyone deserves a little bit of luxury from time to time, so why not treat yourself and those you love, to a truly memorable experience that will never be forgotten.
