Do you have children’s prices on any of these high teas?I would like to take my daughters and three granddaughters to a high tea
Hi Miriam,
Thanks for your question.
Most high teas are set menus so they are charged per person regardless of age. Boronia Teahouse, however, does offer a Little Ladies Holiday High Tea during the school break. This is a mother-daughter package for $50 with each additional little lady being charged at $20pp.
Passiontree Velvet also offers a Teddy Bears Picnic high tea for kids. This package includes ham sandwiches, a strawberry macaron and a chocolate macaron – paired with either juice or a babyccino for $9.95pp. You can find out more by visiting Passiontree Velvet’s contact page.
If you’d prefer to dine at one of the other high tea venues, it might be worth contacting them directly to see if they can organise an alternate menu for your granddaughters.
I hope that helps!
Stephanie
Hi there,
I’d like to get a High Tea Cruise voucher, but need to know if I can use the voucher this Wed, 16/1/16. Visitor is going back home the next day! There is no name or phone no of the company doing the High Tea. Would you please let me know how I’m able to find out availability etc.
Many thanks, C
Hi Catharina,
Thanks for your question. You will need to contact either the issuer of the voucher or the high tea venue itself to see if the voucher is valid on the date you wish.
Sorry I couldn’t have been of more help.
