Coming to our August High Tea this Sunday? Our Hi Coming to our August High Tea this Sunday?

Our High Tea isn't like a booking at a restaurant or hotel, here's how to make the most of your time with us ๐Ÿ‘‡

Plan ahead ๐Ÿงพ
If you need a dietary requirement, have a question about the seating options, or need some accomodations, give us a call so we have time to prepare.

No need to print ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ
You won't need your tickets printed, we'll ask for your name at the door and seat you at your table.

Come hungry ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ
Everyone has a full portion of all the delicacies on the tiers, plus we will keep coming around with Tea and Coffee Pots until you are topped up to the brim.

Don't Rush โณ
We're not as far out as you think! We're only 10 minutes from the centre of Ashburton, and just over an hour from Christchurch. The doors won't open any earlier than 2:00pm so enjoy a walk in the garden if you arrive early.

Get Festive ๐Ÿฅ‚
Your very first stop when you get to the Homestead is to treat yourself to a complimentary cocktail or mocktail.
 
Pace yourself ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ
Enjoy the progressive experience and give yourselves time for the full experience. You have two and a half hours to enjoy your High Tea and tour the Homestead and Grounds.

Take another scone ๐Ÿ“
Rebecca has made sure there's enough for everyone to have two if not more! Put that homemade jam and cream to use with a debate about Devonshire vs Cornwall customs.

Take a tour before you go ๐Ÿ”
Ask Jema for the history of the estate, or take a wander around the Homestead and gardens before you go. There's little treasures everywhere you look.

Have a question? 
We'd be happy to answer! If you're coming, give us a call or respond to your welcome email.
