The award comes just a couple of weeks before the business celebrates its sixth birthday.
Room Forty was founded in 2016 as a mobile afternoon tea parlour setting up in customers’ homes or venues, dressing the room in 1930’s style and serving traditional, homemade afternoon teas to guests on fine vintage china. It established its baking school that same year delivering classes across the region and has taught over 600 people to bake bread, cakes and biscuits.
Founder, owner and manager Jen Perry makes and bakes everything for her afternoon tea’s herself from her 5 Star rated kitchen in Woolston, Warrington.
The coveted award is the sixth award won by the business.
The Manchester & North West Prestige Awards cover the entire North West region and are judged following a five-month period of scrutiny by a team of judges. The Awards are sponsored by CorporateLiveWire.
Jen Perry, owner and founder of Room Forty commented,
‘Winning this award came as a compete surprise and I am absolutely thrilled. It is humbling to receive such recognition.
Covid made it a difficult couple of years for us all. I was unable to provide my full table service and so adapted to delivering boxed afternoon teas. As ever the support of my lovely customers was amazing. I’m thankfully back to offering full waiting on service although keeping on delivering boxed teas once a month.
I am so lucky to have created a little business doing what I love’
