In Newcastle, the second oldest colony in the yet-unexplored continent of Australia, afternoon tea must have been brewed and served at least as long as in Britain. This Rydges Newcastle deal puts an Aussie spin on the classic treat, including a delightful glass of bubbly.
This is the way tea was made to be enjoyed: along the iconic Honeysuckle promenade, with the sun high and the sky perfectly blue, a slight breeze blowing from the ocean. The scones are properly light and fluffy, the cakes sweet and creamy, and the bubbly tastes like a summer night feels - alive and buzzing. This afternoon tea deal also includes a three-tiered platter, bringing to mind a celebratory wedding cake; fancy cucumber ribbons, salmon and cheddar are all included in the savoury section, while the sweets soak in chocolate and cream. And after all that? A lounge on the beach.
