Take Tea at Gnomes!

Gnomes is delighted to introduce the traditional "English-style" afternoon tea, in shabby chic fashion, served on tiered cake stands with mismatched floral crockery and fine china.

Come into the garden, regardless of whether your name is Maud or not, and enjoy one of our delicious loose leaf teas served on a tray in a proper teapot, complete with a little jug of milk and a gorgeous fat china or glass bowl with real sugar lumps and sugar tongs. Nibble delicately at the array of tempting pastries, cakes and sandwiches displayed elegantly on our pretty cake stands.

Listen to the fountain tinkling merrily away in the background while you relax and enjoy the age-old custom of the taking of tea. Bring your friends and make it an occasion, or bring your colleagues and network over a 'Power Tea' - more digestible than a business lunch, less disruptive then a brunch...
