A Champagne High Tea in Brisbane's historic Customs House, with river and Story Bridge views, for birthdays, baby showers and catch-ups.

Getting High Tea Right

A Brisbane high tea is a gentle way to mark a birthday, a baby shower or a long-awaited catch-up. The CBD setting here is Customs House on the riverfront, a heritage building with terrace tables facing the Story Bridge over the water.

The headline price is $92 per person for a Champagne high tea, which includes a glass of bubbles with savouries, scones and sweets.

Before you book a table, think about:

Inside or out: the terrace has the river view, while the heritage rooms inside stay cooler on humid summer afternoons
Group size: a long shared table suits a baby shower or birthday, while smaller tables work for a relaxed catch-up
Dietary needs: ask early about gluten-free, vegetarian or alcohol-free options so the kitchen can plan the tiers
Occasion touches: check whether a cake, a candle or a few decorations can be brought in for the guest of honour
Getting there: the venue is on the CBD's river edge, close to the CityCat and city buses, which suits guests who would rather not park

If you are building a whole day around the occasion, browse ideas for a baby shower or a birthday party in Brisbane.

Weekend afternoon sittings go first, so give guests a date well ahead, especially in the spring and pre-Christmas months
The mild dry months from about May to September are the pleasant time for a terrace table
Ask whether the bill is per guest or settled in one payment, which matters for a shared celebration
Smart casual dress fits the heritage setting, though nothing formal is expected

For a baby shower or milestone birthday

Ask for a non-alcoholic swap for the parent-to-be or anyone not drinking
Plan games or gift opening for after the food, while the table is still yours
Pair the sitting with party decorations or a few flowers if the venue allows them
