Hotels near Betty Blythe - Afternoon Tea

This charming fine food pantry and tea room has a 1920s theme running through it, from the tea ladies in vintage dresses, beads, hats and ruby red lipstick, to the music and layout of the store. The shop itself is named after '20s movie star Betty Blythe - famous for films such as Queen of Sheba and She, Miss Blythe was quite the seductress, becoming one of the first actresses to film a nude scene. Shop owner Lulu Gwynne initially wanted to name the shop Betty Blythe partly due to its location on Blythe Road, but her research revealed Betty did actually exist and everything fell into place. As well as a variety of meats, artisan breads, coffee and cupcakes, the deli also serves Afternoon Tea. Menu wise the offering is very similar to traditional afternoon tea finger sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream, and a selection of homemade cakes. However, with the addition of a dressing up box and optional pre-dining activities, the tradition is given a unique twist. Guests can choose between activities such as cupcake decorating, burlesque dancing, Charleston dancing, fascinator hat making a vintage photo shoot - a great option for elegant hen parties, baby showers and birthday parties.
