High tea catering items to order for any occasion
Who doesn't love a luxurious high tea? It's classy, enjoyable and versatile and can easily accommodate various dietary requirements.
And if everyone's keen on high tea and you're unsure what to include, here are some popular items:
- Finger sandwiches: Whether it’s ribbon-shaped or in a delicate triangle, opt for a variety of fillings to cater to everyone's preferences.
- Scones: Both plain and fruit options served with clotted cream and jam are always a hit.
- Pastries: Mini quiches, sausage rolls or vol-au-vents can add a savoury touch.
- Canapés: These small, elegant, and flavoursome bites can be a delightful addition to your high tea menu, especially if you’re DIYing it.
- Assorted tarts: Think mini quiches, and sweet fruit tarts – they are sure to impress your guests.
- Petit fours: Offering a variety of these tiny, decorative cakes not only adds an artistic touch but also caters to diverse sweet tooth cravings.
- Macarons: These bite-sized treats add a sweet finish to any high tea event.
- Tea selection: A mix of classic and exotic teas will ensure there's something for every palate.
- Add some bubbles: If the occasion calls for it, you might like to add a glass or two of sparkling wine or apple juice to your high tea selection.
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free or gluten-free high tea orders
Regardless of the variety of dietary requirements you need to cater for, we'll most likely be able to assist! Here are some tips to ensure you're catering for everyone when you're ordering:
- Opt for a variety of fillings in your package. This way, vegetarians can enjoy their sandwiches without meat, dairy-free people can avoid cheese and mayo, and so on.
- Consider vegan sandwich fillings: Hummus with roasted veggies, avocado with tomato, and cucumber with dairy-free cream cheese are just a few tasty options.
- Opt for dairy-free pastries and sweets: Many of our caterers offer delicious pastries and desserts made without dairy products.
- Gluten-free bread and scones: No one should miss out on the quintessential high tea staple — scones. Look out for gluten free versions of these and any sandwiches that taste should taste just as heavenly.
- Herbal and decaffeinated teas: For those sensitive to caffeine, consider including a selection of herbal and decaffeinated teas. Running low? Check out our kitchen staples for a variety of tea, coffee and other necessities to keep your staff happy.
- Filter by diet: Our menus will indicate if items cater to certain dietary restrictions, but if you're unsure, give us a call! Our customer care team can guide you through the ordering process to ensure you're ordering food that everyone can enjoy.
