An elegant afternoon of sweet and savoury high tea selections paired with Hendrick's gin and signature cocktails, suitable for celebrations and special occasions.
Bartholomew's is hosting the Hendrick's Gin High Tea on Sunday 11 October, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. It's a three-hour session that takes the traditional high tea and pairs it with Hendrick's gin and a few signature cocktails, so it's as much about the drinks as the food.
The food arrives on tiered stands, with sweet and savoury selections to work your way through over the afternoon. The gin and cocktails run alongside, and the whole thing is set in the restaurant's elegant dining room, which leans into the 'high tea with a sophisticated twist' pitch. It's aimed at celebrations, birthdays, or girls' afternoons, where the classic tradition meets a bit of modern indulgence.
Bartholomew's is a restaurant and bar in the heart of Newcastle, at 145 King St, within easy reach of the light rail and inner-city hotels like the five-star QT. The venue has built a following for its events, which range from whisky masterclasses and high teas to cabaret dinners and live music — including Le Carnivale, a cabaret show of circus acts, burlesque dancers, and aerial performers curated by Bettie Bang Bang. This high tea sits on the more relaxed end of that spectrum, though the gin definitely pushes it beyond your usual afternoon tea.
