AntiquiTeas is open to the public and serving
between 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily (Closed Tuesdays). We have
limited seating (A total of 50) throughout 3 rooms. The Cottage
Rooms are connected by a six foot wide doorway and hold 30
people comfortably. The Rose Room accommodates 20. Parties of
more than 30 will be divided between the rooms for comfort and
safety. Pricing begin at $22.50* per person for events. If you
are planning your event during our regular business hours, we
request that you invite your guests to arrive between 10:30 and
11 a.m. with a serving time of no later than 12 p.m. We regret
that we cannot guarantee tables together at any other time. If
your event involves opening gifts it is necessary that they are
opened before serving. There are no additional room charges or
fees for larger parties if we are allowed to offer our walk-in
guests the room before 1 p.m. You have the option of reserving
either of the rooms for the entire afternoon or reserving “after
hours” at the rate of $29.50 per person*.
We will be glad to customize your menu upon
request. Please notify us of any allergies before selecting a
menu.
*A $50.00 non-refundable deposit is required
to secure your date. We ask for a final count of invited guests
at least a day before your event. Please be advised that you
will be responsible for what is ordered and prepared based on
this final count. Quoted prices do not include an 8% New
Hampshire Meals Tax and 18% Gratuity which will be added to your
total.
Can I bring my own decorations
to a function? Our tables are small and intimate and
cannot accommodate centerpieces or favors. We can create a table
or space for these items upon request. The serving tiers are
prepared in the kitchen based on the number of guests seated at
each table. Adding to tables or moving chairs may result in
confusion when serving. Please see a Manager if you would like
to change the seating in any way prior to serving or provide us
with a seating plan if you wish.
Can I bring my own cake to a
function? We are unable to cut or serve cakes that are
not purchased from a commercial bakery. We will be happy to
provide a cake or special dessert for you. If you do bring in a
bakery cake, a $25 cake cutting fee is applicable.
Can I bring my young child to
a function at the tearoom? We respectfully request that
infants and toddlers be discouraged from attending, again for
their comfort and safety. We offer no children’s menu, high
chairs or booster seats. Strollers and carriages are prohibited
by law in the tearoom.
Do you have a dress code?
We frequently receive calls asking about a dress code. Formal
is not necessary, however proper attire is very much
appreciated.
What is a kitchen
reservations? The kitchen prepares as many afternoon teas
as are expected for the day. It is meant to limit your wait at
the table as they require a lot of time to prepare. It isn’t a
seating reservation however. If there is a brief wait for a
table, your tea will be ready for you when a table is. Call to
request a kitchen reservation if you plan to have Afternoon Tea
rather than lunch.
Do you need reservations for
lunch? No, reservations are not taken. You may come in
any time during our serving hours 11:30 - 4:00 and order off our
menu.
What is the different
between Afternoon Tea and Lunch? Afternoon Tea is the
three tiered serving trays that hold a variety of tea
sandwiches, assorted pastries and scones, fresh fruit and
savories along with a pot of tea for $20.00 per person. Lunch is
what is offered off the menu daily; soups, quiches; sandwiches;
salads; desserts and more. Typically a lunch is $10.95 for two
items off the menu.
What accommodations do you
make for larger parties? The best time for groups to be
seated together would be shortly before the lunch hour begins
around 11:00. You may call and advise the hostess that you will
be coming as a group at that time and we will do what we can to
accommodate you. We cannot guarantee seating together after
11:30.
Do you offer anything for children? We do
not offer a children’s menu in the main dining rooms. We do
offer a children’s afternoon tea in the Children’s Tea Parlor
(for up to 5 girls) by reservation on Mondays & Thursdays at
3:30 or on Saturdays at 12:00 and 3:00 at $18.95 per person.

The Children's Tea Parlor
Are children allowed in the adult tearoom?
Yes, and no. If your child is very well
behaved in public, please bring the little cherub along. We love good
mannered, freshly scrubbed, little angels. We are striving to create a
restful environment for the enjoyment of a serene cup of tea.
Energetic, boisterous, noisy children are not conducive to that
goal. If you know that your child is not quite yet mature enough
to sit quietly for two hours, please do not subject them to the
constraints of the tearoom, or the rest of our patrons to their
unruliness. We have NO CHILDREN'S MENU in the tearoom. Food from
other establishments is NOT ALLOWED. We have no high chairs and we
have no diaper changing facilities.
Thank you so
very much and we look forward to the pleasure of your company.
