Mum's with excellent taste deserve a divine afternoon over Champagne and dessert 🍰

Our High Tea is getting a special Mother's Day rewrite. For $89, start with a glass of G.H. Mumm, a selection of savoury bites, then make way for the roaming dessert trolley, piled high with Parisian-inspired temptation.

If she leans towards something a little more celebratory, swap the teapot for a pour that pops. Upgrade to bottomless Prosecco for $20, or Champagne for $45.
