Freshly baked and completely vegan afternoon tea for 100 guests in a giant tipi tent on midsummer's day, you say?

What better way to spend your wedding day, than in the glorious setting of , followed by sangria and ceilidh dancing!

Thanks to L and J for having us along for the ride, and to Team Tearoom for making it all happen on the day.

Not sure which kind soul keeps trying to cancel my google business profile (because I no longer have a tearoom they can visit?) but I really wish they would stop!!! It's very dull, effortful and time consuming going through the appeal process to get it re-instated every time.

So here it is once more for clarity...

Sixteen months ago I closed the tearoom on New Bridge St in Exeter, in order to work less and focus my attention on the rapidly expanding event catering side of the business. This change has allowed me to:

1) Live with my partner.
2) Reduce my regular working week to less than 80 hrs.
3) Take time off to spend with my family and friends.
4) Wash fewer dishes.
5) Establish a much better work/life balance, making time for other things I enjoy doing like singing and visiting other countries.

What this means in real terms for HT customers is that:

1) You can no longer "book a table" at the tearoom.
2) Afternoon tea box deliveries are only available by advance request (email me at [email protected]).
3) You can book us to cater for your wedding reception or private party anywhere in the South West of England!

All this info is on the website (www.hiddentreasure.biz) and hopefully back on google as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience and support x

Pics just in from a photoshoot we did back in January! I've done lots of events with over the last year (do not mention the VIP bar) and can confirm that not only are they blessed with extraordinary creative genius and a terrific hire catalogue, but are also some of the friendliest and most hard working folks I've ever had the good fortune to work alongside. Give them a follow and check out their website www.maeflower.co.uk if you're in need of sustainably sourced decor and styling for your upcoming party or event.

The same also goes for the ever lovely and equally industrious , a Bristol based wonder florist with unlimited imagination and more plants in her home than you could ever believe possible. Follow her for regular pics of bouquets from the Fourfields cutting garden and news of one-off delivery options around Bristol on special days.

Photos by the brilliant at stunningly quirky Bristol venue and me, well I supplied the vintage crockery, cutlery and glassware, the kind of stuff we always used at the tearoom, which is now also available to hire for your own private woodland wedding (or tea party)! Drop me a line with your requests for now - the hire section of my website is currently undergoing an overhaul!

There are just 4 delicious afternoon tea boxes left for delivery this Sunday! Swipe left to see whats inside or over to the website now and bag yours before they sell out...

I made these scones for a delivery that went out earlier this week. I love it when the perfect rise creates a natural split like the ones in this pic. You can just pull them apart with your hands and voila, two equal halves ready to load up with lashings of clotted cream and jam - no knife necessary!

What's your favourite part of afternoo tea? Comment below - you never know, it might just appear in our next delivery box 😉😘❤️

****Ooooooohhh frangipane tartlets!****
Your name is a bit funny (and quite hard to spell) but I love your fluffy insides - like tiny chewy almond clouds, lined with a splash jammy goodness made from fruit I grew myself on my little plot in Exeter.

Definitely a favourite of mine, and included in next weekends delivery boxes. Have you booked yours yet? Head to the website (link in bio) and do it now., before they sell out!

***Milk chocolate salted caramel tartlets***

A crisp pastry shell perfectly piped with outrageously creamy chocolaye ganache and a sneaky layer of buttery salted caramel hiding underneath... As a flavour and texture combo this one hits ALL the spots - creamy, crispy, just a little bit crunchy with that melt-in-the- mouth element thrown in for good measure!

Featuring in our Luxury Mother's Day Afternoon Tea 2024 Boxes (incl. free delivery in the Exeter area) - all the details are on the website www.hiddentreasure.biz waiting for you to
ORDER YOURS NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!
