Nips and Crumpets

A personal service providing vintage tea parties in your own home or other venue. Reminiscent of times past when the pace of life was slower, of tea dances and croquet on the lawn accompanied by the traditional afternoon tea. The perfect way to enjoy a Birthday celebration, Bridal Shower, Christening, Anniversary, intimate Wedding, Retirement party or Wake. We prepare and serve a sumptuous tea so that you can relax with your friends or family. We cater for gluten free and nut free diets. Jane and Frannie started Nips & Crumpets through their mutual love of baking and presenting food - the quintessential English afternoon tea - inspired by a trip to The Ritz. They are helped by Sam (Frannie’s son) a young adult with Downs Syndrome, previously at Lowestoft College where he obtained a Certificate in Food Studies. To set the scene we use beautiful vintage tea-sets, in hues of pink, green, yellow, blue and gold laid out on antique tablecloths with napkins and vintage cutlery. We serve you in outfits based on 1950’s patterns.
