Boronia House Tea Room is set in a historic home in Mosman. Built in 1885, it is now owned by the local council and runs as a weekend tearoom and function centre.

The tearoom was packed with lots of ladies and young girls all dressed up for a nice afternoon out. The house has high pressed tin ceilings and wooden floors, it is light and airy surrounded by a large verandah and a lovely garden.
High tea arrives on a three-tiered stand. Including savoury bites, scones freshly baked, with sweet strawberry jam and cream, then a assortment of sweet treats.
My girlfriend and I escaped for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon, we had such a lovely time doing something so girly. We came to a firm decision that there will be more days like this.
Oh my gosh....that looks just heavenly!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! And those treats looks soooooo good .
ReplyDeleteLooks good. This is quite common here in England, we usually call it afternoon tea :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place. I have always wanted to have a real high tea.
ReplyDeleteMore days like this indeed! If I lived closer I would be visiting there for sure! What an outstanding setting and oh my do those desserts look amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day - and pretty things in the tea house. But I am confused - for a while I thought that high tea was something like when the queen came to call and you served the prettiest and best, and then I was told recently that high tea was a meat tea - hearty and sturdy food for the working class, sometimes before the actual evening meal was served, and now you show me this pretty tea called high tea - I guess you can tell I'm not English or Australian - I don't understand the teas.
ReplyDeleteI think that instead of tea, we call them meals, and we, here in the US think of tea as simply a beverage. It was lovely, anyway, and quite charming.
What a beautiful house and that food looks fab! I think it's a very sensible decision to make it a regular event! Julie x
ReplyDeleteI was just there earlier this year and had a lovely time too! Have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! Juliex
ReplyDeleteThe old world charm of the place is grand. Afternoon tea is one of the British traditions I hope we never tire of. There is such an art to a good scone. The big question is, Did you cut the scone with a knife?
ReplyDeleteNever, I think you or I could have shown them how to make a good scone.
DeleteSimply divine!
