Our server asks which type of high tea weโre after โ traditional, with sparkling, or the upgraded free-flowing sparkling option. We all […] Read more…

Some friends and I tried high tea at Queenโs Terrace Cafรฉ located inside Parliament House. After going through security, I head straight to the Information Desk as I have no idea where the cafรฉ is located. She directs me up the marble staircase and to the left. I must admit that I have a sense […] Read more…

I booked four of us into Beef & Barleyโs Burger High Tea a few weeks ago.
