From Elizabeth Cassone of Windswept by the Sea in Bridgehampton:

Tea Time

I love visiting London — there’s just something about England that pulls me back.

But one of my favorite experiences isn’t in London proper: it’s at Mad Dogs & Englishmen in Essex, a little over an hour outside the city.

They do the most magical themed high teas every year. When we went, it was all Narnia. You literally felt like you were stepping through the wardrobe into another world.

It’s not just tea and scones — it’s a whole theatrical experience the kids absolutely adored.

Inside Tip 📌

Themes change throughout the year, so check ahead and book early — it’s a memory-maker for kids and adults alike.

About Windswept by the Sea

Since 1994, I've been creating a different kind of Hamptons salon — one that feels as relaxed and welcoming as a perfect beach day, with reggae setting the mood and zero pressure to be anything but yourself.

From my first Watermill spot in the '90s to today's Bridgehampton hideaway, it's always been about connection and craft.

Trained by Vidal Sassoon in London and seasoned across Europe's top salons, I brought those world-class techniques home to the East End, specializing in hand-painted color that captures natural sunlight and modern cuts that move like ocean air — effortless, organic, and designed to make you feel like the best version of yourself.
