Kiwi High Tea
In celebration of local artisan products, executive chef Volker Marecek and his team are presenting a High Tea showcasing the very best of Kiwi summer ingredients.
From Elderflower jelly with beetroot relish, goat’s cheese and caraway tuile, and sweet pea panna cotta with crab and mango gel, to a vanilla and mint Chantilly tart with strawberry gel and fresh berries, there are bursts of beautiful summer colours to delight every palate.
A special Summer Delight tea will complement the menu – a blend of strawberry and kiwi tea topped with lemonade and a dash of freshly squeezed lemon. Delicate sandwiches and fluffy scones with artisan jam and clotted cream complete the experience, along with a choice of teas or coffees as recommended by the Lobby Lounge team.
