High tea: Penny Black Victorian Tearooms
If there is one way to celebrate in style that suits everyone from age two to 102, it’s a High Tea. Tiers of gorgeous sandwiches, baked treats both savoury and sweet, all beautifully presented and served.
To drink is the finest tea, coffee, or a glass of party time prosecco, juice, or soft drink, according to taste. High tea is no longer just for ‘the girls’ out for a delightful afternoon. There is a specialised selection for gentlemen, and children too, on the menu at the elegant Penny Black Victorian Tearooms at The Tannery. For those in pursuit of true authenticity, Victoria’s High Tea containing traditional English choices is the way to go, and gluten free or dairy free high teas are available too.
“We are happy to cater for any dietary requirement, off menu choices, and are fully licensed,” says new owner Ranjit Singh. “Just give us a call to discuss what suits.”
For tea afficionados, Penny Black is must for its menu of stunning Zealong teas, 100 percent organically grown in Waikato. Gift vouchers are available online, as are table bookings. The stunning Victorian style venue can be booked for any event. Because the High Teas are created with such love and attention to detail, the team asks that clients book 48 hours in advance if possible.
