Just to clarify, this is "Afternoon Tea" and not "High Tea". High tea is more of a dinner, whereas traditional afternoon tea is designed to hold you over til dinner.Did anyone do this last year? I really do like high tea. Was curious what you thought of it if you did do it. The first weekend appears you can now make reservations online.

We usually go thru 3 pots of tea per person, the teas vary all year, but they usually have some very good special teas for each holiday.
Children's tea is $39, Classic is $59, Premium is $79. Premium includes the salad, glass of Fairy Tale, and truffles to take home.I looked for the cost and can't seem to find it.
What was the cost last year?
My granddaughter had hot chocolate. Sodas are also available. You can also get the various teas iced. We usually choose 2 hot teas, then finish with an iced tea, and take some to go!And this may sound like a strange question - but what if someone doesn't like tea? I do, DD does not.
I couldn't get a reservation for Halloween tea last year because they filled up so fast. I learned my lesson for Christmas and booked a regular tea 2 months out, thinking it may switch to Christmas tea aka Holiday tea, which it did. My takeaway is that if you want to do anything that requires a reservation for halloween, book it as soon as the date becomes available, well before there is any announcement that it will be special for a holiday.

Here is a pic from tea in July of the food plates. Then we have a pic of the menu of tea items.
Each tier is for 2 people. You generally get 2 scones, 4 finger sandwiches, and 3-4 dessert items (a choc covered Strawberry, a fruit tart, and a couple of macarons.) You can't see it but it also comes with a dish of Devonshire cream, some lemon curd, and a raspberry jam.
