Cream Tea Delivery: Fresh Scones, Clotted Cream & Jam, Delivered Across Cornwall

There are few things more Cornish than a cream tea. Fresh scones still warm from the oven, a generous pot of proper Cornish clotted cream from a local dairy, and strawberry jam: jam first, obviously. Salt Wind Catering delivers cream tea platters across Cornwall for everything from baby showers to retirement parties, office treats to hen weekends, and holiday cottage welcomes.

What's Included

Every cream tea platter includes freshly baked scones, plain and fruit, with generous portions of Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam. Everything is baked fresh in our Redruth kitchen on the morning of delivery, and the scones are still warm when they arrive. We use proper Cornish clotted cream from local dairies, not supermarket alternatives. We also offer gluten-free scones and vegan scones with dairy-free cream alternatives on request, just let us know when you order.

Cream Tea vs Full Afternoon Tea

A cream tea is scones, cream, and jam, simple, elegant, and quintessentially Cornish. A full afternoon tea adds finger sandwiches, mini cakes, pastries, and fresh fruit, a more substantial spread that works as a light meal. If your event is replacing lunch, go for the full afternoon tea. If it is a mid-afternoon treat alongside other food, a cream tea is perfect. Both arrive ready to serve with no preparation needed.

Perfect Events for Cream Tea

Cream tea delivery works for almost any occasion where you want something elegant without the fuss. Baby showers and christenings where the focus should be on the celebration, not on making sandwiches. Hen weekends where a cream tea on arrival sets the tone for the day ahead. Corporate events where you want to impress clients with something distinctly Cornish. Holiday cottage welcomes where guests arrive to find a proper cream tea waiting on the kitchen table. Garden parties, book clubs, WI meetings, and charity events all suit the cream tea format.

A cream tea also pairs beautifully with a later BBQ or hog roast: a cream tea for the afternoon reception, then a hog roast for the evening. It is one of our favourite combinations for wedding catering and works perfectly at marquee weddings where guests are arriving throughout the afternoon.
