Freshly Prepared · A High Tea Menu That Changes With the Seasons · Handcrafted With Love

More Than Just Beautiful Food

A high tea table can look gorgeous and still fall a little flat if the food doesn’t hold up its end of the bargain. That’s why every menu is built around balance. Sweet and savoury in proper proportion, bite-sized enough to eat gracefully, and made fresh rather than assembled from a supermarket platter at the last minute.

We lean into what’s in season, because food genuinely tastes better when it’s not fighting the calendar.

A table that looks as good as it tastes, and tastes as good as it looks.

Within each package’s selections, yes. We have a long list of menu items to choose from.

Yes. Additional sweets and sandwiches are charged at $3.50 each. Additional savouries are $2.50 each.

Can I serve some of my own food also?

Of course! Please keep in mind that if serving additional food you will require additional cake stands or pedestals we we carefully calculate to fit our menu items on the cake stands and there isn’t much room for more.
