For $110 per person, enjoy a curated menu of four savoury and four sweet delights, a Chandon Garden Spritz on arrival, and unlimited tea throughout the afternoon.

A roaming photographer will be capturing the day, with guests receiving a digital keepsake to remember it by. Every mum will receive a special take-home gift, and a pop-up florist will be on-site so you can surprise her with fresh blooms on the day.

Bookings are essential for this unforgettable Mother’s Day experience
