“The best bit about Mayflower Events is getting to bake beautiful cakes and share them with people, all served on pretty vintage china that we have been collecting for years. We get to meet lots of lovely people, and be part of some wonderful events – a perfect job!”– Lucy, Mayflower Events

Tell us a bit about Mayflower events and how it started?

Mayflower Events was started by three sisters, Lucy, Robyn and Harriet a few years ago – it combines our mutual love of good homemade food and pretty vintage china. We love baking cakes and other sweet treats and then serving them at tearooms and other events on our beautiful vintage china. We have a great selection of pretty tea pots, cute tea cups & saucers, cake plates sugar bowls and milk jugs that we hire out for events such as weddings, baby showers and christenings.

Do you have a bestseller?

We sold out of all of our cakes and other treats at the last two fairs so it’s very hard to say what was our absolute bestseller as everything went so quickly! However, our lemon drizzle cake is always very popular – the key to a good lemon drizzle is getting lots of lovely zesty lemon flavour into the cake to balance the sweetness of the sponge and the homemade sausage rolls received really good feedback.

You took part in our previous two fairs, did you enjoy them?

The last two fairs were fabulous fun – so many good quality, talented craft stalls run by some wonderful people. As soon as the doors opened, the fairs were jammed full of visitors having a great time.

What treats can we expect from you in our spring vintage tearoom?

We have lots of yummy treats planned for the vintage tearoom in Spring – all of our food is homemade with really good quality ingredients. There will be the usual delicious cakes including carrot cake, coffee cake, apple cake, victoria sponge and also cupcakes, Easter cookies, hotcross buns and then some savoury items such as sausage rolls and pasties filled with a spicy chickpea, tomato and spinach mix.
