About
One of our home made cream cakes
As enthusiasts of English traditions and local connoisseurs of quality cream teas, Linda & Steve have personally visited most of the tea-houses in Dorset. We’ve tasted a huge variety of great afternoon teas and eaten pounds of scrummy cakes in some wonderful venues across the county …yet still our thirst for this quintessentially British tradition pervades!
We decided that scorching hot tea served in fine bone china with traditional home-baked cakes and thick Dorset cream is the ultimate shabby-chic indulgence that we all deserve once in a while. From this idea, Vintage Dorset began.
Friends of Vintage Dorset
We source our crockery and vintage accessories from auctions, vintage sales and flea markets, working with a number of local businesses and great organic food producers to offer a truly indulgent experience that is authentically Vintage Dorset. We’ve found some great suppliers and are very pleased to recommend our friends.
Linda and Steve live very happily in Dorset where they enjoy its restful reminiscence of old-fashioned-ness! Steve is a musician who loves beach fishing, bees, photography, mending and fettling broken artifacts including old sewing machines and shepherds huts. Linda is an excellent cook, horticulturist and landscape architect who loves flowers, food, design, sewing and poetry.
Together we have created Vintage Dorset to share our quirky and indulgent passions for the beautiful old things and delicious food around us.
