Afternoon Tea catering in the UK is a bit of a national superpower. It looks beautiful, tastes reassuringly familiar, and works in places where full kitchens or long prep windows are unrealistic. You can stage it in a marquee on a village green, a cosy hall with trestle tables, a private garden under bunting, or a timber barn with fairy lights. It suits garden parties, village fetes, anniversaries, and micro-weddings. Done well, it brings theatre without faff. Done smartly, it stays within a sensible budget. Across the country you are typically looking at £18 to £28 per guest depending on menu depth, service style, and any extras like china or styling.

If you need to protect the budget, trim variety rather than quality. Keep the sandwiches fresh and well filled, keep the scones excellent, and reduce the number of cake types. Guests remember flavour and warmth, not how many different bakes were available.
