The Covid pandemic was a strange time for everyone. From rainbows in every window, to clapping NHS workers once a week, to wiping down our groceries, normal life as we knew it was put on hold for quite a while. But there was lots of good to come out of the pandemic. People took up old hobbies, learned to bake, sew and craft, and communities came together.
Additionally, numerous people sought out clever business opportunities which filled in gaps in the new market. Since the general public couldn’t get out to do their normal activities, the delivery of all kinds of things directly to people’s homes became much more normal. Exhibit A – the birth of the afternoon tea delivery.
How does this work?

And it’s no wonder we love it so – tier upon tier of dainty sandwiches, moreish scones and delicious little bits of cake ranging from Victoria sponge to chocolate brownies.
But of course, during the pandemic, cafes were closed! So people turned to the internet to see if there was any way of recreating this tower of treats at home – cue, a great idea for afternoon tea delivery was born.
