An example of a High Chai experience we catered.
The brief
High Chai is Tikki's Indian afternoon tea: a tiered stand, sweet and savoury, served the way a traditional afternoon tea would be, but with an Indian-inspired menu.
The menu
Mattar paneer tarts, lamb keema samosas, tandoori chicken sandwiches, chocolate cardamom brownies, chilli chocolate dipped strawberries, and mango lassi.
What we did
High Chai runs both ways: as a public pop-up event, and as a private booking, usually for up to 16 guests but we’re able to stretch to 20 depending on the kitchen facilities and space available. We served our High Chai on a tiered stand, styled like a traditional afternoon tea!
High Chai at home, or as a hamper
You don’t need to come to one of our pop-ups for High Chai. We can bring it to you: we arrive with the food and the tiered stands and lay everything out, at your home or another venue, indoors or out. Private High Chai usually works for up to 16 guests, and up to 20 depending on the kitchen and the space. It’s £35 per person, plus a charge for the tiered stand service that depends on numbers.
For two, there’s the High Chai hamper (£70): the same savoury and sweet bites, plus masala chai, packed up and delivered to you. Hampers can be delivered cold, ready when you are. You’re welcome to collect too if you prefer.
We cook everything fresh in West Horsley (GU23) and travel up to an hour to an hour and a half from there. Order High Chai here.
