F.A.Q.s
Frequently Asked Questions- What is your dress code?
- We are a casual restaurant -- you're welcome to dress up or dress down!
- What is your cancellation policy?
- We require credit card information upon booking to help us prevent no-shows and wasted food / reservation space. Cancellations within 24 hours of the reservation date will incur a 50% ticket price charge to the credit card on file. Same day cancellations or no-shows are charged the full price of tea service, per person.
- Where exactly are you located?
- We are located in an old stone house, set back from the road a little bit at 1854 Brevard Road (Rt. 191) in Arden. We are about 15 minutes south of downtown Asheville, about 10 minutes north of the AVL Airport, and about 2 miles south of the NC Arboretum.
- Can children join our tea party?
- Of course! Well-behaved children are welcome, and we offer a children's tea service for half price. They receive a pot of tea (or lemonade, or hot cocoa, etc.) plus scones and shortbread cookies, but just 2 finger sandwiches and 2 desserts instead of the usual 4 each. Please indicate the number of children below 10 years of age in the "REQUEST" box when making a reservation!
- I'm planning a special event - can we use your whole space or a private room for a tea party?
- Of course! We welcome bridal showers, baby showers, bachelorette parties... or any sort of celebration, really! Please e-mail [email protected] with a date and approximate number of guests for more information!
- Is this a REAL English-Style Afternoon Tea?
- For the most part, yes. However, we admittedly and proudly have thrown a few southern "twists" into what is known as traditional tea service. We promote a laid-back, relaxed atmosphere that is not stuffy or too prim-and-proper, so as to maximize the enjoyment of an afternoon savoring tea and homemade treats.
- What if I am Gluten-Free, or Vegan, or have a food allergy?
- We're happy to accommodate you! Please note any and all dietary restrictions or food allergies in the "OCCASION/REQUEST" box when making a reservation! Gluten-Free and Vegan or Dairy-Free tea service is available for an extra $2/person. Please note: while we are happy to offer Gluten-Free items, our kitchen is not a gluten-free environment. We urge all guests with serious food allergies or dietary restrictions to get in touch personally with a manager before dining with us.
