High tea

Upon the regal balcony of The House on the River, guests are afforded a commanding vista overlooking the grandeur of the New River. Here, a lavish feast of epicurean delights awaits, elevating the senses as they partake in a curated selection of teas.

This opulent experience commences with a  cup of our house-crafted soup, setting the stage for an exquisite tiered presentation. Crafted by our esteemed in-house chef, Sherly of La Ville Rose, this tier reveals a profusion of freshly baked pastries and savory treasures. Delight in the delicate Mini Quiche, savor the interplay of flavors within the Cucumber Dill Crème Fraiche, and revel in the artistry of the Chicken Salad Crostini. The opulence continues Smoked Salmon canapés.

The term “High Tea” comes from a European tradition of having an in between meal & tea set upon a high table as compared to a “Low Tea” in which tea is enjoyed at a coffee table setting. 

Space is limited and we want everyone's experience to be fit for a Royal. Your experience includes 2 hours of service to make sure you can enjoy and relax, with friends and family.

Bubbles, Wine & Spirts are available for purchase to complement the experience.
