High Tea Across Australia

High tea is a classic Australian celebration: tiered stands of sweet and savoury bites, scones with jam and cream, and pots of tea (or sparkling). Browse venues across Australia and contact them directly to book a sitting.

High tea is typically a fixed sitting offered by hotels and cafes, with options for traditional, themed or vegetarian menus. Sittings, sparkling upgrades and group sizes vary by venue.

Availability and inclusions may vary. Please confirm details directly with the venue before booking or travelling.
