About
At Brentwood Social House, we serve a 3-tiered stand of crafted sweet and savory items, in keeping with the traditional English Afternoon Tea. Ours is a casual, cozy Tea Service with mismatched vintage china pieces set in a quaint coffee house. The menu includes tea sandwiches or other savories, scones with butter & jam, assorted desserts/pastries, and your choice of tea.
Seating
We typically set up Tea service in the main dining room. For larger parties, we put individual tables together to create one long table. We can also keep tables separate if you want individual settings of 2-6 guests. The Quiet Room can be rented out for private parties of 1- 8 guests. Due to the delicate nature of our tea settings, we do not set up Afternoon Tea outside.
Seating Times
Thursday and Friday at 12:00 pm Saturday and Sunday at 1:30 pm or 2:00 pmNote: Guests have asked about an Afternoon Tea brunch around 11am. Our busiest hours are from 9am to 1pm and being a counter-service cafe and not a full-service restaurant, we're not able to accommodate serviced gatherings during those hours.

Additional Afternoon Tea Service Details
Prepaid reservations are non-refundable. Dates can be changed if given 3 days notice for weekdays and 7 days notice for weekends (Friday-Sunday). Changes must be made by emailing us at info@brentwoodsocial.com. Changes are not official until you receive a confirmation email or phone call to confirm the change.
We will set the table and prepare food based on the number of people in your reservation. For party size changes, we require at least 72-hour notice. If reductions in your party size happen at the last minute or you have no-shows, you will still be charged for those settings. We're happy to box up any food for you to enjoy later.
Because we prepare the menu in advance, we would need to know of any specific food allergies ahead of time (eg: tomatoes, peanuts, or tree nuts). We cannot accommodate any food allergies at the last minute. At this time, the only dietary restriction we can accommodate is vegetarianism. We DO NOT currently offer gluten-free or vegan settings. Our kitchen is not free from allergens and we can not guarantee against cross-contamination of any allergen.
Our Afternoon Tea is not recommended for children under 6 years old. We do understand that parents may want to do a Tea Service and bring their small children to be part of the event. You're welcome to bring your children under 6 and order snacks/drinks for them at the counter.
Afternoon Tea party guests are allowed to come 15 minutes before your reservation time to set up any additional decorations on the table. Please keep in mind when deciding on what decorations to bring that the tea service requires a full table setting and table space is limited. Do not use any decor that is hard to clean up such as confetti or glitter.
If you would like to bring a cake (or additional dessert), there is a $25 cake fee.
