High Tea at the Nelly

The legendary High Tea at the Mount Nelson (or the Nelly as I like to call it) is the Ultimate experience every girl MUST have. It is time to be a little posh, put on a pretty dress and enjoy a decadent morning or afternoon of the most delicious cakes, savoury delights and creative tea infusions.

The beautiful and grand Mount Nelson is the perfect setting for this indulgent and elegant occasion. You are probably wondering how this could possibly be child friendly? Posh and kids should definitely not be in the same sentence but this is the ultimate mommy & daughter date. Time to put on those pretty dresses & enjoy some girl time.

I recently spent my birthday celebrations here with some of my best friends and it could not have been more perfect. We sat on the terrace, which is perfectly suited to the occasion. You can also choose to sit inside or outside, your preference and weather dependant.

The cakes and sweet treats are made to perfection and are out of this world and sure to impress the sweet tooth. There are savoury treats too including delicate finger sandwiches, canapes, and they serve freshly baked scones. If you are Gluten free, you are in for a treat, they prepare a special plate just for you. It is essential to request this when booking.

The teas are an extraordinary experience too with a variety of creative tea infusions served in glass tea pots so you can observe the tea infuse. The Mount Nelson signature tea is expertly blended from six teas and they serve heavenly ice teas, perfect for a hot summers day.

I have been to both morning & afternoon high tea with the difference being the morning tea is a lighter version served on elegant cake platters, while the afternoon tea, which costs slightly more, is a buffet setup.

The price tag is a little posh so if it is too expensive for your little ones to appreciate and enjoy just yet then this is the perfect ladies outing & time for some very important mommy time or an outing with your own mom or even a date outing with hubby.

This is definitely an experience not to be missed.

Dress code is smart casual.
