Why Afternoon Tea is the Best Choice for Your Next Event in Plymouth

At Future Inn Plymouth, the afternoon tea package is designed to be versatile, stylish and effortlessly enjoyable. It’s perfect for both social celebrations and professional gatherings.

A Refreshing Alternative to Traditional Events

Not every event needs a formal sit-down dinner or a full-day conference setup. Afternoon tea strikes the perfect balance - elegant without being overly formal, structured yet relaxed.

It creates an atmosphere where guests can unwind, chat freely and genuinely connect - something that’s often harder to achieve in more rigid event formats.

It’s ideal for:

• Team get-togethers and informal meetings

• Hosting clients in style

• Charity fundraisers and networking afternoons

• Birthday parties, hen celebrations and baby showers

• Thank-you events for colleagues or business partners

A Flexible Space to Suit Your Event

One of the key benefits of hosting your event at Future Inn Plymouth is the flexibility of the space. Whether you’re planning a corporate event or a celebration with friends, the setting can be tailored to suit your needs.

You can choose to:

• Host your afternoon tea in a private function room for a more intimate, exclusive feel

• Enjoy a relaxed setting within Fishbone Restaurant, perfect for smaller or more informal gatherings

You can expect:

• Comfortable seating and spacious tables

• Plenty of natural daylight

• Outdoor patio with large umbrellas

• Plug sockets

• Free Wi-Fi

• Free parking

A Menu That Feels Like a Treat

Afternoon tea is more than just food - it’s an experience.

Guests can enjoy a selection of freshly prepared sandwiches, sweet treats and classic favourites, all served with tea or coffee. It’s indulgent without being overwhelming, making it ideal for daytime events that don’t require a full meal but still feel like a proper occasion.

For corporate events, it offers a welcome change from standard buffets or working lunches - something your guests are far more likely to remember.

From £20 per person

Perfect for Daytime Events

Timing can make all the difference when planning an event. Afternoon tea works beautifully as a daytime option, making it easier for guests to attend without committing to a full day or taking time from their evenings, which can be a major plus for busy professionals.

This is especially useful for:

• Midweek team catch-ups

• Client meetings with a more personal touch

• Charity events and fundraisers that benefit from a relaxed, sociable setting

Easy to Plan, Effortless to Enjoy

Planning an event doesn’t have to be complicated. With a dedicated events team on hand, everything from room setup to catering can be handled for you.

That means less time worrying about logistics - and more time focusing on your guests.
