Room Forty

Discover the Joy of Afternoon Tea Wherever You Are

by Jacqui Priestley

Room Forty is a Cheshire based travelling afternoon tea emporium and baking school that come to you. It serves traditional afternoon tea: dainty cakes, scones and clotted cream and finger sandwiches all served on vintage china and on vintage tablecloths. Tea is loose leaf of course. And all is delivered and served to customers at their home, workplace or community venue by uniformed staff.

Established in 2016, the award winning business is well regarded by its customers, with consistent five-star reviews. As a food enthusiast, owner Jen Perry (above right) bakes everything herself with real butter and no colourings, flavourings or additives, it is something she is very passionate about.

They also run a mobile baking school specialising in bread baking with classes held at venues across Cheshire. They offer private classes in customers’ homes or at their workplace. Room Forty won Silver in the World Bread Awards a few years ago for their White Delight loaf which they teach how to bake on their Beginners Bread class.
