Our story

At Tea and Sympathy Nottingham, food isn’t just food — it’s an experience, a celebration, and a way to make lasting memories with the people you love. Founded in 2020, our family-run catering business grew from a genuine love of fine food, beautiful presentation, and thoughtful hospitality. From intimate Afternoon Teas to indulgent Grazing Tables and bespoke event catering, every offering is designed to delight the senses and bring people together.

​

Our approach is simple: exceptional ingredients, thoughtful styling, and attention to every detail. We work with the finest local and seasonal produce, carefully selecting each element for freshness, flavour, and quality. Delicate pastries, homemade buttery scones, handcrafted cakes, artisanal cheeses, and colourful seasonal produce all combine to create tables that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Every menu is tailored to the occasion, from cozy gatherings at home to grand weddings and corporate celebrations.

​

We know it’s the little things that make an event truly unforgettable. Whether it’s the perfect scone, a hand-picked seasonal garnish, or a beautifully curated Grazing Table, we focus on the details that turn a meal into a memory. Our family-led team combines professional expertise with warmth, care, and a personal touch, ensuring every event feels bespoke and truly special.

​

Every celebration has its own story, and we love being part of it. From elegant Afternoon Teas for two to lively celebrations with friends and family, we work closely with you to bring your vision to life, crafting a menu and presentation that reflect your style and make your occasion unforgettable.

​

Let Tea and Sympathy Nottingham take care of the food, while you focus on connecting with your guests, celebrating in style, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Because here, every bite tells a story, every table is a little work of art, and every event is a moment to savour.
