Gatehouse Tea Rooms - Parramatta

Sigh. Look the service was decent (I was served by Kate, she was nice and all) however, the food was very bland. And my goodness, the scone was way too sweet and crumbly.. Not to my liking and how scones should be! I wasn't able to finish the 4 petite desserts because it was way too sweet and the caramel slide seemed off as I only took a small bite..They have got to improve the quality of the traditional high tea as I know from experience and have tasted numerous high tea places around Sydney.

We came here for Devonshire tea and where wowed by the softness of the scones. We also shared a plate of sandwiches which were average as the bread was a bit dry and the fillings were nothing special. The dill and cucumber sandwich was delicious though and a highlight of the occasion. It is a lovely place set in a lovely location though if you decide to specialise in high tea some of the small touches like homemade jam or fresh baked bread would make it go a long way.

Went here for the first time, booked for two for a 12pm seating on valentines day. Once we got there we didnt have to wait long to be guided to our seats nor be offered the complimentary wine and drinks menu. We waited no longer than 10 minutes for the food to come out. The staff were kind enough to explain each and every item on the plates. The food itself were fresh, the quiches were warm just like they came out of the oven, the scones were the perfect texture and full of flavour. The desserts freshly made and delicious, the tea was incredible, the decor was breathtaking and the staff were the right amount of friendliness and helpful and weren't overbearing. I will gladly return

Sigh. Look, as the service was decent (I was served by Kate, she was nice and all) the food was very fad. And my goodness, the scone was far too sweet and crumbly .. not to be my taste and how scones should be! I could not finish the 4 petish desserts because it was too sweet, and the caramel slide seemed to be away when I just took a little bit. They tasted numerous high-tea places around Sydney. Grief

It is a nice place set in a beautiful place when you decide to specialize in high-tea, some of the small notes such as homemade jam or fresh backbrod would leave it a long way.
