Great experience, awesome venue, delightful owner and staff, amazing food, best scones, cakes and savoury food! A lovely interesting garden and we spent 4 hrs at High Gate. 2 hrs inside and another 2 hrs sitting outdoors in beautiful weather and not once did we feel like we were being prompted to leave. Fabulous High Tea outing.

Went here on Father’s Day. I booked about a week prior and surprised to be able to be fit in. The building has the charming old feel to it, and interior decor to match with. Garden could be better, there are lots of things in it that makes it a bit messy. Staff are very friendly, although I wish the tea jug is left on the table because it was a bit hard to find staff at times to refill your cup. I have to say food-wise, I am very impressed. Usually when I go for high tea, it’s only either the sweets or savouries are good, rarely they are both good. However with this place I love both. Scones were very nice. Overall very happy with my experience.
