In the heart of Northampton, a delightful transformation of the afternoon tea experience has been brewing since 2013. What started as a passion for vintage china collecting has evolved into a beloved mobile events company, bringing the quintessential afternoon tea experience to homes and venues across the town.
The visionary behind this venture, a former waitress and mother of two, saw a unique opportunity to deliver the elegance of afternoon tea directly to people’s doorsteps. Her innovative approach quickly captured the hearts of locals, making her the first in Northampton to offer this delightful service. From intimate gatherings of eight to grand celebrations with up to 250 guests, this business has become a staple for weddings, birthdays, and more.
Despite a brief partnership with The Copper Kitchen, the venture is once again thriving on its reputation for homemade delicacies and exquisite vintage china. As it approaches its 13th anniversary in 2026, there are exciting plans to expand offerings with a potential new coffee shop, promising to bring a signature touch to yet another beloved British tradition.
While the journey has had its challenges, resilience and creativity have kept this business at the forefront of Northampton’s catering scene. This story is a testament to the power of innovation and community spirit.
At James Anthony, we understand the importance of local businesses in enriching our community. Whether you’re planning a cosy tea party or a grand event, consider the unique charm of this vintage tea experience. After all, supporting local talent is what makes Northampton truly special.
