About Me Old Vintage China

Welcome to Me Old Vintage China where we take pride in providing you with beautiful, vintage china and glassware for your event! Our collection has been lovingly selected from antique fayres, auctions, and boot sales and is all genuine vintage – nothing is new! We are passionate about the beauty and nostalgia of vintage crockery and hire out our stunning tableware and accessories throughout Kent.

Me Old Vintage China can cater for events for up to 120 people whether it's a wedding, hen party, baby shower, christening, wake, corporate event, children’s party, or just a lovely, summer picnic in the garden. We offer a choice of a quintessential English Afternoon Tea with unlimited tea and coffee or a traditional English buffet. Please see our menus for more information. If you are unsure about how your venue will look we can style it for an additional fee, including laying the tables to make that plain, old village hall look amazing.

Our Story

So it all started leading up to my 50th Birthday when I refused to have paper plates or IKEA plain plates at my party. So I started gleaning car boots, auctions and charity shops for plates. My party was amazing even though the inclement weather turned it from a whimsical village type garden party into full on Glastonbury!!!! Afterwards a friend asked what I was going to do with the china, I said sell it. She said don't be silly you are a good baker why not start doing your own parties and thus ME OLD VINTAGE CHINA was born. Ten years later I am still like a magpie and cannot resist that new trio or teapot even though my garage already resembles Portobello Road.

I do all the food myself however, for larger parties I have a great team of friendly, hard working, kind waiting staff.

Experience

ME OLD VINTAGE CHINA has been in business for almost 10 years now. I absolutely love making people's occasions special and memorable. I am also very proud of winning the South East's Best Tableware 2025 award.

Typical Clients

We cater and hire our vintage crockery for Weddings, Milestone Parties, Christenings, Baby Showers, Memorial Teas and MacMillan Coffee Mornings. In addition to vintage themed parties we offer buffets displayed on white china and wooden trays.

Great service and food excellent

I was delighted with every aspect of Maria’s service - helpful attentive - everything was beautiful laid up & displayed & waiting for us when we got home from the christening. Good variety of food & well prepared. I will be using Marie again for another family event at the end of the month. Many thanks Marie

Food was great, Lemon Drizzle was Spot on!!

Marie was brilliant from start to finish. She knew exactly what we wanted for my mums 70th tea party, and delivered some really nice handmade foody delights!! Everything fresh, sausages rolls were more than nice, the whole food package was great, but the cakes were something else. Really, really tasty, the lemon drizzle cake was fantastic, absolutely spot on. Good value for money with excellent service, you can't go far wrong with "Me Old Vintage China".

Absolutely Perfect!

Me old Vintage China delivered beautiful vintage teapots, cups and saucers, side plates and milk jugs and sugar bowls for an event we were having at a hotel after my mother’s funeral. The hotel we’re going to serve tea from flasks with plain white cups and saucers and as my mother loved beautiful cups and saucers we thought this would be a fitting tribute. When we arrived Marie had set up all the cups and saucers and teapots on the tables and everyone was so surprised. They looked beautiful and all said what a lovely little touch it was. At the end of the event Marie took everything away and it was such good value. I would definitely use her again. What a lovely lady x

Great Attention to Detail - Perfect !!

Marie provided the buffet food for two events that we held to thank our volunteers for the assistance they provide to the Parish Council. With so many attending to worry about, the days leading up to previous events have been rather fraught to say the least ! Marie took that worry away through her professionalism and perfect communication ! A total of 90 people attended over the two events - and d’you know what ??? Not one moan about the food or the organisation of the event ! Already booked for next year .... would thoroughly recommend ‘Me Old Vintage China’ to anyone considering holding an event. Thanks Marie !

The food was excellent.

The food was very good although Marie didn't always communicate with me to a great degree. Her response to emails and telephone calls left something to be desired. The buffet was for a funeral so, I guess, I may have been feeling a little vulnerable. The sound of children on the recorded phone message didn't exactly inspire confidence either!! For this reason and bearing in mind that Marie was coming from Herne Bay I was concerned that she might not be able to turn up.

Response from Me Old Vintage China
I have messaged Andrew privately to apologise for not always getting back it him immediately. Moving forward I will respond to messages and emails more swiftly. Funerals are a very difficult time I appreciate and I try to be as helpful and caring as I can but I do realise I should have responded quicker and no Andrew you were not being vulnerable it is a sensitive time. I do work from home and have 3 children but I will now change this recorded message as I made it many moons ago. I have learned from this review and appreciate your honesty and will take on board your comments.
