Colonial High Tea

Overview

How often do you get to dress up all fancy, choose a unique tea from an overwhelmingly extravagant selection and eat delightfully tiny cakes and sandwiches? It's a beautiful thing.

Every weekend in September and the first weekend in October, Colonial High Tea will be served in three historic Sydney venues: Elizabeth Bay House, The Governor's Table at the Museum of Sydney and Vaucluse House. For $49 per person you get a selection of cakes and sandwiches, endless amounts of tea (or coffee if you are so inclined) and a glass of Australian sparkling wine.

The menu is designed in the style of the colonial era. Food offerings include cauliflower and truffle tart with samphire and parmesan crisp and smoked salmon on brioche with lemon creme and caviar. And the cakes, oh the cakes: chocolate and earl grey macarons, brioche doughnuts with lemon and lavender sugar, scones.

The Colonial High Tea series is on from September 6 to October 5. Bookings can be made through reception@freshcatering.com.au.
