The Cellars-Hohenort has created a summer menu of dainty sweet and savoury delights to further elevate the hotel’s timeless tradition of High Tea at the Greenhouse.
Served in the elegance of the historical Hohenort venue, the 4-course High Tea at The Greenhouse is a celebratory affair that includes a glass of Cap Classique to enjoy with the savoury selection that starts with Tea Sandwiches of Cucumber and Sundried Tomato; Roast Chicken Coronation; and Smoked salmon Rose. This is followed by a second course of delicious bites that includes Roast Beef and Mushroom Empanada; Braised Lamb Tartlet; Smoked Snoek Terrine; and Baked Cranberry & Brie Phyllo.
No High Tea is complete without the Cellars-Hohenort’s legendary Scones with Strawberry jam and Chantilly cream served as a third course, before the final course of sweet and delicate confectionary. Expect Raspberry and Pistachio Swiss Roll; Caramel Popcorn Choux Puff; Dark Chocolate and Honeycomb Tart; Blueberry Tartlet; and Pineapple, Sesame and Coconut Opera Cake – all to be enjoyed with a bottomless cup of Nigiro tea or Lavazza coffee.
The Cellars-Hohenort High Tea features a choice of 11 loose-leaf teas – meticulously curated by Master Tea Blender, Mingwei Tsai. He has also created a unique Cellars Hohenort Blend of Nigiro tea, incorporating the spicy fragrance and bronze/apricot colour of the Liz McGrath Rose. This unique rose grows on site in the gardens of the Cellars-Hohenort and was hybridised in 2003 to commemorate the 80th birthday of the late Mrs McGrath, the founder of The Liz McGrath Collection of three sister-hotels.
High Tea at The Greenhouse is an elegant affair, served in a picture-perfect setting with a sublime ambience that invites one to dress up a little. The most perfect way to while away a few hours, it is equally popular as tea-for-two, or as a bridal shower, birthday party with besties or a celebration with the girls. Bookings are essential with at least 24-hours’ notice. Served Saturdays and Sundays at either 11h00 or 14h00, the cost is R455 for Adults and R235 for Children (4 – 11 years).
