“More than 150 years after the seventh Duchess of Bedford began serving a meal between lunch and dinner, afternoon tea remains a firm favourite. Adding trays of Italian pastries and cakes to your dainty crustless sandwiches and pots of Darjeeling or Earl Grey will create a regal flavour for your Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

“Biscotti di Debora's petits fours are an array of irresistible miniature desserts, including a classic pannacotta, a chocolate cup filled with Tiramisù cream, a pistachio choux craqueline, and mini meringues sandwiched with vanilla cream. A variety of delicately decorated treats, all expertly handmade, which we hope would get The Queen’s royal seal of approval,” says Debora Bonnes, owner of Biscotti di Debora.

“Saffron Grange has a delightful range of wines to pair perfectly with your Jubilee spread – the perfect way to celebrate all things English and local! All our wines are fruit-driven with a delicious, refreshing acidity giving you lots of pairing options however you choose to mark the occasion,” says Aimie Edwards, Operations Manager at Saffron Grange Vineyard.

“Match smoked salmon sandwiches with our best-selling, award-winning Classic Cuvée, made from the classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir grapes. Or why not tantalise your tastebuds with our refreshing 2019 Sparkling Rosé, with notes of summer berries and red currants which perfectly complements the sweetness of raspberry jam slathered on warm, buttered scones?

“For a refined experience, try the 2018 Blanc de Noirs, our most complex wine to date aged for 30 months on the lees and made from 100 per cent Pinot Meunier grapes. It will hold up to richer savoury treats, like a Coronation Chicken salad.”

VINTAGE CHINA from My Pretty Tea Party, Burwell

We’d like to imagine that the Queen enjoys her freshly-brewed Assam poured into a fine bone china teacup, sat in one of her sprawling palace drawing rooms, with a beloved Corgi on her lap. Whether that’s true, we’ll never know, but we do know that she loves china, so why not serve up your Platinum Jubilee tea and treats in vintage crockery hired from My Pretty Tea Party?

"From teacups to cake stands, teapots to teaspoons we have everything you could need to make a beautiful royal Jubilee party,” says Tonie, owner of My Pretty Tea Party. “Drink tea from bone china, Royal Albert teacups. Eat cake with a silver fork off Royal Doulton tea plates and stir with a silver spoon! What could be more royal?"
