The British High Commission and Singapore Restaurant Rescue are joining forces to encourage people to get creative with afternoon tea in support of the struggling F&B industry. To mark the official birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Saturday 12 June, the two organisations are launching a joint community campaign that celebrates all things food and the role it plays in bringing people together.

High Commissioner to Singapore, Her Excellency Kara Owen, said:

I know Singapore is a nation of foodies and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the many great links between our two countries than spotlighting food culture. One of the things I love about afternoon tea is the many forms it can take; it exists in some way in so many different cultures, from the classic sandwiches and scones through to delicious kueh, samosas and curry puffs. It’s like an afternoon celebration of the diversity we cherish and find in both Singapore and the UK.

Charlotte Wilkinson, Co-Founder of the not-for-profit Facebook group Singapore Restaurant Rescue, said:

We created Singapore Restaurant Rescue during last year’s lockdown to help support an already devastated industry which is battling to survive. A recent survey of our 83,000 members showed that 95% of venues are finding it harder than they were this time last year and 75% of customers are ordering less. Selecting an afternoon tea from one of our member venues is a way that people can help give life to the independent restaurant community and to many delivery drivers at the same time.
