With high tea only served at boutique hotels and CBD tea rooms, the custom remains inaccessible for younger people. Turning tea around, Amelia Hepburn has opened her own parlour, Redfern style. She plays Biggie tunes, keeps the lights low and serves scones on fine china. If you're hungover on a Sunday afternoon, you can BYO bottle of champers from the pub next door and enjoy hair of the dog with your ham and cucumber sandwiches.
HORRIBLE. 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".
I can understand being busy but how do you run a business if you can't manage bookings (as reflected in more reviews on other sites)? I had no intention of being rude and I don't think I was out of line to simply state that I felt frustrated - I felt genuinely hurt by the response I received.
