Bridgerton-Inspired Afternoon Tea: Vegan Edition
With the much-anticipated release of season three, the Bridgerton boom is well and truly back, and what better way to celebrate its return than with a 100% plant-based Bridgerton-inspired afternoon tea?
There are no hard and fast rules about what to include in your afternoon tea, so get creative. Below, we’ve included some of your classic ‘finger food’ such as sandwiches, cakes and scones, as well as some more unprecedented options. Along with the traditional selection of teas with plant milks, you could also consider adding a bit of sparkle to the event by offering vegan-friendly champagne, prosecco, cocktails, mocktails or gin! Let your imagination run wild!
Savoury
Scrumptious Sandwiches
Surely, it’s not afternoon tea, without a selection of sandwiches for you and me!
Tasty Tarts
With a golden crust and a yummy core, our mouth-watering tarts will leave you wanting more.
Sweet
Charming Cakes
You’ve got to balance out the savoury with the sweet, and these cakes are hard to beat!
Surprising Sweet Treats
Sweet delights that maybe don’t fit the mould, have them hot or have them cold!
Set the Scene
What you’ll need:
To really immerse yourself in the Regency era in which Bridgerton is set, why not look to incorporate some of the ideas below into your afternoon tea.
Tip: Why not use bits and bobs you already have to hand, removing the energy, costs and materials that come with buying new? Not only will your afternoon tea be vegan, but by re-using items you already have, you can make it sustainable too – a win-win!
- Regency-era-inspired costumes
- Ceramic or porcelain-style tea set
- Table flowers and plants
- Table and tablecloth
- Music from the Regency era (a string quartet might be a bit far-fetched so why not try Spotify for the Bridgerton soundtrack?)
