Royal
Tea - Service Options
Lady Mendl's would like to inform guests of two distinct
service options available for private parties. Lady Mendl's famous French style
service is the more traditional and formal choice of the two, while the Tea Buffet option
offers a more casual setting similar to a cocktail party. No matter which service
you choose, your private party sitting is for three (3) full hours. For your
benefit, the following outlines in detail the differences of the two service
options.
French Service
z Upon arrival, there is a
half hour for guests to meet, greet & mingle, during which our Champagne cocktail or wine service can be included upon request.
z Each guest is then
seated as the five course tea service begins.
z Each course is served by our Wait-staff
in orderly succession. Note: The Sandwich Course is served to your
guests twice. (There is a choice of four sandwiches - Additional sandwiches can
be added per the last page.)
z Four teas are passed throughout the
five courses. They include Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Egyptian Chamomile
and Before the Rain Jasmine (Green Tea). Each tea pot is regularly refilled by
the Wait-staff.
z The five course French service lasts
for approximately one hour and fifteen minutes.
z The remaining hour and fifteen minutes
is usually reserved for gifts, presentations, and other activities.
Tea Buffet
z This service option includes the same
elegant Lady Mendl's Royal Tea menu presented at a luxurious Buffet Serving
Station.
z The Serving Station is
generously replenished by our Wait-staff for approximately 90 minutes..
z Champagne Cocktails and additional
beverage options are also available for the Tea Buffet upon request.
z With this option, you also have three
full hours in an elegant but more casual private setting.
z After the Buffet, the remaining hour
and a half is usually reserved for gifts, presentations, and other activities.
