Tea & Tides

It features traditional and not so traditional savory and sweet items, including iconic British scones. Together, they will please the palate and fill the tum! Specific attention is given to the preparation and presentation of the food almost everything is made from scratch by Chef Hannaford and her team of talented SMCC culinary students. This attention to detail continues with the table settings and our front-of-the-house student staff under the professional guidance of our management team.

We have a wonderful group of Hospitality, Culinary and international students on staff this summer. They are all looking forward to welcoming you and your guests at our August tea.

***A few things of note. You now have an option to choose the Royal tea – our classic tea (both beverage and food) served with a 6 oz pour of champagne. Please indicate how many in your party would like the Royal tea at the time you reserve if possible.

We can also accept a few reservations for 6 tops (seating 5 or 6 guests). These tables will be situated in the dining room, in front of the windows but with limited views.

Please note the following details:

– Reservation requests can only be made by email (no phone calls please). The cost of the Royal tea is $52, the Classic tea is $40 per person, plus tax. Please contact Chef Hannaford shannaford@smccme.edu with your preferred dining times and contact information.

– Reservations can be made for 2, 3 and 4 people on the porch, 6 tops will be seated in the dining room.

– Due to the popularity and multiple seatings, we ask that you plan on staying no more than 1 1/2 hours

– We will do our best to book your preferred seating time. When you respond, please select 2 times: 11:30, 12, 1, 1:30, 2:30 or 3 (and I love people that are flexible and say any time!).

– I will reach out to get credit card information (Visa, MC or Discover). The full table cost of the tea + tax will be charged to your card on Wednesday, July17th. One card per reservation.

– Gratuities for the students are not included and can only be left as cash the day of the tea.
