High Tea At High Gate — Restaurant in Melbourne

We visited for a work team pre-Christmas breakup (party of 12). Everyone in our party rated our experience 5/5. Cathy and her team were fantastic hosts and the service was both warm and generous. The tea was bottomless and a fresh cup was never too far away. All of the food (ribbon sandwiches, hot pastries and petite fours were fresh and delicious. The scones were served at room temperature but warmed on request and there was a generous supply of jam and cream to accompany them.

Sitting time (2 hours) was just right, and we didn’t feel at all rushed, even though we were the last to leave. Even though we were all replete we each left with a container packed with left over goodies to take home.

This was our first visit there and I am already looking forward to a return visit in a few weeks time for a family...

Went here on Father’s Day. I booked about a week prior and surprised to be able to be fit in. The building has the charming old feel to it, and interior decor to match with. Garden could be better, there are lots of things in it that makes it a bit messy. Staff are very friendly, although I wish the tea jug is left on the table because it was a bit hard to find staff at times to refill your cup. I have to say food-wise, I am very impressed. Usually when I go for high tea, it’s only either the sweets or savouries are good, rarely they are both good. However with this place I love both. Scones were very nice. Overall very happy with...

A charming space for high tea. Set on a private property you will experience extremely friendly service and delicious home made treats of a most generous proportion. I particularly enjoyed the chicken sandwich and the pavlova. They cater for all types of dietaries and are very passionate about what they do, they are even willing to warm up your scones for you and provide take home boxes for any leftovers. We had a lovely time today, it was almost as though we were in a bygone era and it is an experience unlike any other high tea...
