Last Saturday we had a sketching friend catch-up at the Tea Parlour. I read about it in the paper and it seemed very interesting and high tea was a very reasonable price. We made a booking and when we arrived there we were far from disappointed.
We chose from a range of teas, then out came the scones, jam and cream. They were followed by thinly sliced sandwiches, then a tiered plate with a multitude of small sweet cakes such as pecan pie.This is Alissa’s sketch of the food, and of the empty plates. Here’s a drawing of the food done by Liz, and some more of the decor.
We were there for three hours, talking sketching, talking, sketching, and eating. There is soooo much to draw there. I think we’ll be back there very soon.
It seems like I haven’t visited your blog in a long while, and am loving what I’m finding. What a perfect place to sketch..especially with good friends joining you.
I wish I had a good experience of this place. I have been wanting to go to this place for close to a year now and was super excited to go for my 30th birthday. I didn’t worry about not getting a response to my online enquiry, I just texted instead. We agreed on a booking and I gave a number of people saying I’d confirm the exact number in a week. I admit I left it very late to confirm the number but when I did the proprietor could not recall my booking and offered a time two hours later. I accepted the time but expressed that I was frustrated as I had the text reflecting the original booking. To that I was told “don’t come at all”.
