Each Valentine's Day, high societea holds a sumptuous five-course dinner at the teahouse, against an enchanting, fairy-lit garden backdrop.
Tables are adorned with tea lights and scattered rose petals while live classical music adds to the romantic ambience.
"Kathy Heath's award winning tearoom restaurant, glowing in twinkling fairy lights and candles, its tables adorned with perfumed roses, was irresistible. Bella Musica played soft romantic songs; singer Julie McCoy breathed life into their lyrics. Kathy's chefs did wonders. If guests weren't in love when they arrived,they would have been when they left."
