We hired some of Debbie’s beautiful Vintage Crockery for a Tea-Party, Debbie delivered the wares sparklingly clean and beautifully packed ready for transportation. We had more than enough of everything and the little touches of cutlery wrapped in napkins with a satin bow, really added that special touch! Thank you Debbie!!

I contacted Butterfly Garden Tea Parties to arrange an afternoon Tea party for my mums 60th Birthday. the whole transaction was wonderful and simple from start to finish. The food was amazing ..... there was more food than we thought there was going to be. Very fresh, great prices and you dont even have to wash up ....which the hubby was pleased about. My mum had a wonderful birthday and all family and friends enjoyed the tea party and dress up accessories. Thank you so much..... will def be in touch again soon. 💗

We arranged for Butterfly Garden Tea parties to organise a buffet for an unknown amount of guest for an event held at the Archbishop’s school. Communication was excellent, the food was outstanding- fresh, great quality and beautifully presented. Catered for a wide range of dietary requirements and food preferences well labelled. Would 10/10 recommend for future events/parties.

Debbie and her team excelled in expectations! We asked for an afternoon tea package for 80 people and they delivered. The attention to detail, the quality of the cakes and sandwiches were the best I've tasted. There was nothing but positive feedback from all staff. We'd definitely use them again and I'd recommend anyone to use Butterfly garden tea parties.

I cannot recommend Butterfly Garden Tea Parties highly enough. We asked Debbie and her excellent team to provide a memorial tea for our mum/ mum in law, following her funeral. Debbie's communication with us was brilliant. Even over the busy Christmas period. Totally professional at all times during the tea, and respectful of the occasion. The sandwiches, nibbles and cakes were amazing. One of the guests commenting that the sandwiches were the best she had ever had at a wake. Thank you Debbie and your team for all your help and service on this important day for our family.

Butterfly Garden Tea Parties supplied a fabulous vintage tea at the Age uk event in Herne bay, for over 40 people. The food was amazing and cakes superb. Everyone commented how lovely it was. The team put out the food and set the tables, then at the end, arrived to take it all away, it was effortless. Debbie was a pleasure to deal with, whilst making the arrangements and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much for making the day special for so many people.

My daughter arranged a surprise indoor tea party for my birthday last month. I had just taken the keys to a new flat, so as the place was still empty they set it all up in the lounge. The table was groaning with delights. Trays of sandwiches and pastries, scones, jam and cream, all offset with delicate China cups, saucers, plates, teapots and accoutrements. The food was plentiful and delicious and we ate till our bellies almost popped, with enough left over to last a few days. It was the best way to celebrate my birthday and a delightful surprise.

Debbie Jones helped me organise my mums 60th surprise afternoon tea birthday party. It was so special with the mix match of China tea sets my mum was overwhelmed with how pretty it was all laid out. I had a couple of guests with dietary requirements and Debbie was happy to offer a full range of goodies for them too. I would highly recommend her service for those who love a beautiful tea service.

I would just like to thank you for the afternoon tea box you created & delivered to my Mum for her birthday on Monday. She was over the moon with it & told me it was absolutely delicious. She really did enjoy it. Thank you so much again. PS - don't suppose you deliver to North Norfolk do you? 😊

Butterfly Garden Tea Parties came and catered for my friends bridal shower. They made the tables look so pretty with all of their vintage china and decorations. They had a lovely selection of food, also accommodating those who had dietary requirements and it all tasted amazing. Debbie and her colleague were really kind and helpful and made everything run smoothly.

This place is amazing. I highly recommend their buffet delivery and service. I ordered a buffet for a party last week. We had sandwiches with a choice of various fillings, variety of savouries, side dishes and cakes (the choice is yours). Was blown away by the quality of the food , the service - all delivered to our doorstep. Very professional and helpful. Now looking for another excuse to hold another party so I can order from them again.

I booked afternoon tea from Butterfly Gardens for my birthday treat weekend before last. Great value: the afternoon tea price includes hire of vintage China, beautifully set up by Debbie - which made it feel much more special ☺️ I really appreciated being able to choose our sandwich, quiche and sweet options. The salted caramel brownies in particular are phenomenal (lemon cakes also lovely). There was plenty of food and all of it was delicious. Already planning another for my husband’s birthday! I fully recommend Butterfly Gardens for anyone in Herne Bay, Canterbury or surrounding areas looking for delivery afternoon tea. Thanks again Debbie!

Debbie recently provided the catering for my Mum's surprise party, from the bunting and tablecloths to the most delicious afternoon tea. The presentation was absolutely beautiful, with food to match. Debbie was professional, attentive and warm. I was reasured from the very beginning and felt really listened to as a customer. Debbie catered for all guests with additional dietary requirements, and worked so hard all afternoon setting up, ensuring drinks were topped up throughout and leaving me worry free! I would really recommend Debbie for any catering event!

Debbie has been a good friend for many years and I have tasted a wide variety of the food she provides, but for the first time I booked her to provide a buffet for our 40th wedding anniversary party. From the start, she contacted me regularly to discuss options and make suggestions, but I felt the final decision was ours. On the day, she displayed the food beautifully, restocking the vintage plates discreetly around our guests. The food was fresh, beautifully prepared and delicious and the red velvet anniversary cake was amazing to look at and had a wonderful flavour. I don't know why I waited so long to hire her, but I will definitely do so again soon. Thank you Debbie (and Tim)

I would like to say a huge thank you to Debbie. She catered for my Mum’s wake last week and made a very sad day less stressful. Debbie set everything up whilst we were attending the service and we arrived home to an amazing array of delicious food. Everything looked very appetising and was so fresh. The different cakes were amazing and gained many compliments. We had one guest who was vegan and Debbie kindly created an individual serving for him. Debbie also stayed to serve the drinks which enabled me to spend time reminiscing with family and friends. I will definitely use Butterfly Garden again for any other events which require catering and highly recommend them.

My son ordered an afternoon tea to be delivered to me for Mothers Day. What an amazing gift! The variety and quality of the food was outstanding. 6 different fillings in sandwiches, cakes, biscuits, fruit and cheese scones, truffles, sweets and teabags! All beautifully presented. I have had afternoon tea on many occasions in some very nice establishments but this surpassed even the best of them. Well done! I thoroughly recommend this company.

Thank you so much Butterfly Garden for my delicious afternoon tea box I ordered as part of a virtual Birthday event for a friend. Everything delicious and fresh and there were loads of sandwiches and a variety of cakes in particular! Loved the mini cheese scones too. All delivered to my door in the pouring rain and even earlier than originally planned which was a bonus! I look forward to being able to meet friends again to give me a reason to order a big cake and hire some of your china! 🤩🥪🍰☕

I arranged afternoon teas for a surprise 40th Birthday for my partner down at the beach. Debbie was so helpful and not only catered for all the dietary requirements, but delivered them to the beach hut too 💜 They went down a storm; everyone loved them 😍 The food was delicious and the boxes were huge; such great value for money, I totally recommend Butterfly Garden Tea Parties. I even discovered doggy afternoon teas for our canine friends courtesy of Ruby Ruffs Doggy Deli, the perfect combo.
