264 finger sandwiches, all made and cut by hand!

Yesterday’s buffet for a 70th birthday celebration at The Landmark in Deal! 🎉

A French-inspired buffet for 65 people for a French client celebrating with her English husband 🇫🇷🇬🇧

The spread included:
🥧 Quiche Lorraine
🥪 4 fillings of finger sandwiches
🍓 Fresh fruit skewers
🍅 Fresh tomato, mozzarella & basil skewers

And a little personal touch behind the scenes: my mum came all the way from France especially to help me with a busy weekend in the kitchen. She made all the skewers herself! ❤️ Merci maman 🫶🏻

A lot of preparation, plenty of sandwiches and another special celebration catered for by Afternoon Pause.

A selection of savoury bites, sweet treats and vegetarian options, including:

🥪 Finger sandwiches
🍔 Sliders
🥧 Quiche and savoury tartlets
🥗 Salad bowls
🌭 Sausage rolls
🍰 Sweet treats

A mix of options so guests could help themselves and enjoy something to eat together.

Thank you for trusting me again to cater for such a personal occasion 🫶🏻

If you’re organising an event for small and medium gatherings and need catering, feel free to get in touch with your date, location and number of guests. I’m happy to discuss the options and put together something to suit your needs.

🎄 Introducing Noël at Afternoon Pause!

Christmas has always been my favourite time of the year. Maybe because December is a big birthday month in my family! My brother and sister share the 10th, it’s my birthday on the 23rd, and my dad’s on the 28th. 😂❤️

So naturally, Christmas has a special place in my heart, and I want to bring a little bit of that into Afternoon Pause too!

This year, I’m introducing Noël at Afternoon Pause: a Christmas collection that I hope to change and reinvent every year, with new ideas, seasonal flavours and a few festive favourites, all with a French touch of course.

🎁 Here’s what’s coming from November:

✨ Christmas gift vouchers
✨ Christmas Box for 2 – £35
✨ Festive platters for sharing
✨ Festive buffet

Whether you’re planning a family gathering, an office Christmas party or looking for a different kind of gift, there’ll be something for the occasion! I have been receiving a few enquiries already so don't wait too long to book your catering with me! 🤗

Have a look and get in touch if you’d like to place an order or discuss your Christmas plans.

What a busy wedding weekend for Afternoon Pause! 💒

After delivering two bridal brunches on Saturday, I was back at Allington Castle on Sunday for their Wedding Open Day, for the second time! 🏰🥂

It was a really successful day, meeting lovely couples and catching up with some amazing suppliers I first met back in July, as well as meeting some new ones!

But no time to rest as I have 2 more bridal brunches this week!! 💍🥐

Still in love with our shoot 🥹🤍 So much so that I turned it into my first proper TikTok 😂

Yes… Afternoon Pause is officially on TikTok now! 👀😂

And I just had to share it here too 🫖✨ If you want my food on Ivy Cottage’s china and incredible decorations, let me know 💌

Our first Kids’ Birthday Brunch! 🎂🎈

Yesterday we delivered our first Kids’ Birthday Brunch to Herne Bay, ready for a birthday celebration before the family headed off to Whistable Play Café for the day. And I loved putting this one together!

The bagel platter looks so good, I am tempted to put it on the website 😍

What I love about this brunch is that it’s perfect for both kids AND adults, so you don’t need to organise separate food for everyone!

The standard kids birthday brunch includes:

🥖 2 sandwich fillings, served with baguettes or finger sandwiches
🥯 1 filling with bagels
🥞 Crêpes or French toast with Nutella & fruit
🥐 Pastries
🍇 Fruit skewers

And of course, I can always adapt the menu and create something a little more bespoke depending on the birthday, age and what you have in mind.

And a lovely feedback as well:

💬 “Thank you so much for the food, it was absolutely beautiful and got soooo many compliments. We have just finished off the leftovers for lunch today and it was just as yummy.”

We’ve also catered for another kids’ birthday on Saturday in Sittingbourne, where the family simply wanted two large platters of finger sandwiches and fruit skewers 🍉🍓

So whether you’re after a full birthday brunch spread or just a few things to make the party easier, I’m happy to help!

🏰 I’m heading back to Allington Castle! 💍

To all my future brides & grooms who are following me, next Sunday (the 11th) I’ll be back at Allington Castle Open Day, and I’m so happy to be returning for the second time!

So if you’re planning an intimate wedding, need a bridal & groom brunch or looking for something a little different for your wedding food, come and say hello! I will have plenty of food to taste such as banana bread, French toast, sausage rolls, etc 🥂

Hope to see some of you there!💛

✨ A little milestone for Afternoon Pause!

When I started Afternoon Pause back in February, I started with just my Afternoon Tea Boxes. Since then, it has grown into so much more, and now, for the first time, I’m adding a proper Afternoon Tea Experience with vintage china. 🫖

And I’m very excited to be doing it in collaboration with Ivy Cottage in St Margaret’s!

Today we got together to create some content and show you a few of the possibilities. We played around with autumn, spring and Christmas decorations, with different ways of setting everything up.

It doesn’t have to look exactly like the photos, we can be flexible depending on your occasion and your space. For a smaller group, we can create a beautiful afternoon tea table with vintage china at each place, or for larger gatherings the food can be arranged as a buffet with the vintage china.

🙌 LAUNCH OFFER — £20pp

To celebrate this new chapter, we are offering the full Afternoon Tea Experience for just £20 per person for a limited time.

Your £20 includes:

🥪 3 sandwich fillings
🥐 2 savouries
🍰 2 cakes
🫖 2 scones — plain & sultana
🤍 Clotted cream & a selection of jams
☕ Vintage china, serving pieces & seasonal decorations from Ivy Cottage

Book by 18 October 2026 to secure the £20pp launch price, for an afternoon tea taking place anytime between now and in 2027! 👉 https://www.afternoonpause.co.uk/afternoon-tea-with-vintage-china

You’ll simply provide the tea and coffee, while Ivy Cottage provides the beautiful vintage china and seasonal touches.

And if you’re celebrating, Ivy Cottage can also provide brownies, cupcakes or whole cakes as optional extras. 🎂

Everything is booked and paid for through Afternoon Pause, so it’s simple, one booking, one payment.

📩 To enquire, send me your date, location, number of guests and dietary requirements.

And, of course huge thank you to Ivy Cottage for our collaboration! 💛
