About The Summit Mount Lofty
The Summit is the café and function centre at the top of Mount Lofty in Crafers, in the Adelaide Hills. Alongside its everyday café trade, it puts on a group high tea for parties of 25 guests or more, priced from $59 per person. The spread mixes savoury and sweet. Expect small gourmet pies, point sandwiches and arancini to start, followed by scones, lemon meringue pies, panna cotta and chocolate fudge. Pink lemonade is poured for the table, and filtered tea and coffee are bottomless for the whole sitting. A glass of bubbles on arrival can be added for an extra $6 a head. Dietary requirements are welcome, so let the team know about them when arranging the booking. The menu may shift from time to time, and the final line-up is confirmed with the group beforehand. The venue is fully licensed and also hosts weddings and corporate functions in its event spaces. High tea bookings are planned ahead with the café team, who confirm numbers and details before the day. Bookings for smaller groups are not part of this package, though the café welcomes walk-in visitors for coffee and meals during opening hours.

We come here regularly for a brunch of some sort and are always satisfied when we do. Tasty and generous and the coffee's good too. We'll keep coming back because we like it.
