The origins of afternoon tea can be traced back to the early 19th century, when Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, began inviting friends to join her for tea and light refreshments in her private chambers during the long gap between lunch and dinner.
The practice quickly became popular among the upper classes and eventually spread to the rest of society.
Nowadays, afternoon tea is often considered a luxurious and special occasion and can be enjoyed in many tea rooms, hotels, and other venues across the UK.
If you would like to take part in this special tradition without the hassle of setting everything up, then Pearl Lemon Catering is the catering company for you.
