High time for a High Tea

The table is beautifully set, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the selection has something for everyone. The Barn on Flaxton has a new offering - a scrumptious High Tea!

These delectable plates include a choice of sweet and savoury. You have the classic scones with jam and cream, plus chocolate hazelnut brownie (GFO), caramel tartlet/citrus tartlet, Snickers slice/coconut slice (VG/GF) and fresh seasonal fruits.

For savoury lovers, a selection of sandwiches, corn fritters and Barn relish, roast pumpkin savoury muffin, and mini frittata with prosciutto and sundried tomato.

There is a wide range of teas, or you can choose iced tea or a frothy cappuccino.

“We offer High Tea seven days per week at 10am or 1.30pm slots,” explained Ange Bowen, “and dietary requirements are all catered for.”

The cost is $25 per head, or $30 per head including a mimosa or champagne.

“We only started catering for High Teas at the beginning of March due to customer requests,” said Ange with a smile. “They’ve been popular so far amongst the locals, and we have had people coming up from the coast to try them as well!”

We spoke to a group of ladies who were happily enjoying a high tea on a long table, and the response was unanimous – delicious and good value.

“It’s lovely to come out for a fun morning,” said Julie Barrett. “We’re not celebrating anything in particular, just having a catch up in a lovely place.”

“I love an excuse for a scone,” laughed Sarah Collins, “I can pretend I’m at the Ritz!”
