Mary Eats Cake celebrates the timeless tradition of pairing a nice cuppa with some delicious small bites, calling it a "high tea" and making you feel just that little bit fancy. With two teahouses — one in Brunswick and one in Montrose — Mary has hosted countless high teas, and now she's upping the ante by serving them alongside plenty of gin.
Running on six spring Saturday afternoons between October 5 and November 9, the gin-fuelled high teas will be hosted in collaboration with Yarra Valley distillery Four Pillars. They're happening at the Montrose venue, over a two-hour period between 4–6pm.
The gin high tea will set you back $74 a head and $78 if you have dietary requirements (with Mary's catering for vegetarian, vegans, gluten free, gluten free and vegan, halal, nut free and pregnant people).
Your indulgent afternoon out includes a gin and tonic on arrival, a full high tea menu of sweet and savoury treats matched to two more Four Pillars gin cocktails, and teas designed by a tea sommelier. And, in perhaps the most important news, you'll also have access to unlimited scones with endless jam and cream.
Four Pillars Gin High Tea runs from 4–6pm.
