Not every mum is a brunch person, if that’s your momma, skip the eggs and avocado and lean into the timeless charm of afternoon tea.
Start with a selection of teas worthy of the occasion - classic Earl Grey, fresh mint, or a floral infusion that smells as good as it tastes. And since no celebration is complete without a little fizz, serve up a glass of bubbles alongside the brew, because tea and Champagne are a pairing we fully support.
Then, let the food do the talking, served on elegant trays and effortlessly stylish cutlery (because we both know she notices these things). Delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones with an unapologetic amount of clotted cream, and pastries that could pass for edible art.
Set the scene with layered textures, curated serve ware, and a table that looks as good as the spread. And if there was ever a time to dust off that teapot, the one reserved for ‘special occasions’, this is it.
A well-poured brew and good conversation will always outshine a crowded afternoon tea booking.
