Afternoon Tea

Cost of teas vary depending on the type of program/workshop scheduled for the tea date. Please see our request form to confirm the set price of your selected tea date. All guests must pay the full fee to attend afternoon teas regardless if they partake in the program/workshop. 

Payment is required in advance for groups consisting of 6 or more individuals. For groups of 5 or less, payment may be made at the conclusion of the tea sitting.

Can children attend teas? 

Yes, children are welcome to come and enjoy our Afternoon Teas.

Children (ages 3+) will be required to pay the full cost of the set tea price regardless if they share their food with an accompanying adult. We also ask that all accompanying adults supervise their children. 

Do you offer any children programming for an Afternoon Tea? 

Yes, we occasionally program special teas for children. Please see our request form for current tea dates and descriptions.

However, if you are looking for a themed Afternoon Tea Birthday Party, please see our Birthday Party Request Form and select either Victorian Tea Party or Victorian Parlour Party for your tea party.  

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions? 

Yes, we are peanut allergy aware and we can also provide a vegetarian selection of sandwiches. Please mention any dietary restrictions you or your guests may have at the time you request your booking, so that we can coordinate with our food supplier. Please note, we do not provide other dietary substitutions such as gluten free and vegan options. 

Late arrivals 

Our tea sittings have a specific start and end time. The tea will begin at your scheduled reservation time (e.g. 1 p.m.) and lasts for either 1 hour or 1 ½ hours depending on program/workshops, regardless of late arrivals. Your table will be held for 15 minutes beyond your reservation time. Please be courteous. If you are running late, please call to let us know at 905-780-3802.  

We ask that guests give us as much notice as possible in the event you need to cancel your reservation, minimum 24 hours before your sitting time. Food is prepared specifically for each guest and will be discarded if you have not cancelled with adequate notice. Proper notice also gives us the opportunity to call the next person on our wait list.

To cancel your reservation, please call 905-780-3802 and leave a voice message. Cancellations cannot be made via the online request form. 

Please note, if you do not show up for your reservation or if you cancel with less than 24 hours notice, we may require pre-payment for future reservations.

For large groups: We require a full payment for groups of six or more at the time of booking. This payment is refundable with written notice - 10 business days prior to the event.
