Loading player...
Tiffany Anton sits down with Vickie Pelamati and Karen Ritchie of The Lovely Find Tea Room, a charming Granville getaway dedicated to preserving the traditional English tea experience. Vickie, the owner, shares how purchasing a small house after her husband’s passing inspired her vision for a tea room, while Karen, the manager, explains her love for classic English Tea Time and how that passion turned into a business with her best friend. Together, they discuss serving everyone from Red Hat ladies and Girl Scouts to men in overalls—with special mugs ready for larger hands—and how their faith keeps them moving forward through every challenge. Karen breaks down their rotating English lunch menu, unique tea blends, regular customer groups, and their intimate 18-guest capacity, along with their five-year-old age limit to preserve the experience. They also preview upcoming events, including a festive visit from Mrs. Claus on December 14th and 15th.
