“Brambles Delight”

One tier serves 2 guest.

How will the seating be and do you close to the public?

We generally do not close to the public unless your party is more than 40 guests. We place our groups on one side of the tea room and seat our guests on the other side. Parties of 16 or less we can fit on one long table together . Parties over 16 can be placed together in two long tables or in cluster of tables seating 3 to 4 people. Our most popular time for parties is at 2:30 p.m. and we plan on most all our parties lasting around 2 hours.

Can I book a private event for my group and what will it cost?

You can book the entire tea room up to 50 guest starting at 2:30 p.m. for up to 2 hours.  The cost is $1,700.00 this includes the Brambles Delight Option #2 for up to 50 guest.  Alcohol is offered at an additional cost.  Payment is due one week before the event date.  To complete the confirmation a $100 deposit is required which is applied to the bill.

Can I bring in a Cake or Cupcakes?

We do allow for cakes and cupcakes to be brought in for large groups from a professional baker.   We charge a $2.00 per person for cutting and plating on our china and service for all items brought in the tea room.

Can I bring in Alcohol?

We don’t allow any alcohol to be brought into the tea room. We do offer champagne, wine and beer. If you choose to have alcohol at your party our most popular menu is our Brambles Celebration in which each person is served one glass of champagne. Please be sure to inform us and your guest if additional glasses are allowed and who will be responsible for payment.

Can I have an early morning business meeting?

We offer business meetings starting at 10:00 a.m. giving one hour for private presentations. We can bring out a planned menu at the beginning or after the presentation there is no hurry to leave but we do open to the public at 11:00 a.m.

Can my party order separately and pay separately?

Groups under 12 can order and pay separately. Since our customers pay their bill in the gift shop we ask that just a few at a time go up and pay at the register.  Groups over 12 will be asked for one person to be the representative of the group along with a credit card to hold the reservation.  We will work with the group representative on the menu for the group and how the payment will be handled.  Groups over 12 will be required to put a $25 deposit which is applied to one final bill at the end of the meal.  Please refer above for types of menu options for large groups.

Will I be charged for people not showing up?

You are required to give us a final count for your group three days in advance.  You will be charged for that final count amount regardless if people in your group do not show up for the event.
