Ladies,
I am in need of a caterer for a tea for 20 or so in Durham to honor office volunteers at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church where I am the Parish Administrator. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I would check with Laresidence in chapel hill. I had a tea there over the holidays that was served by Alison Fisher. I've copied her information below. She did a beautiful job and I think she does this sorta thing offsite too. Worth a call. Known for: Clotted cream made from scratch from Maple View Farm and service with a British accent. Amanda Fisher, a native of Devon, England, owns The Blakemere Company, which produces clotted cream, cakes, jams and other treats for a proper English tea. Fisher’s products are available online ( theblakemerecompany.com ) and at local shops, including Southern Season in Chapel Hill, NOFO at the Pig in Raleigh, Savory Spice Shop in North Raleigh and Peak Olive Oil in Cary. She also offers delivery within a 15-mile radius of Chapel Hill. Where: La Residence restaurant, 202 W. Rosemary St., Chapel Hill.
