Driving through the picturesque suburb of Morpeth along the Hunter River, resides quaint high tea establishment, Ducks in the Field. In a farmhouse overlooking manicured cottage courtyard gardens, is a cosy dining room set with crocheted table cloths, polka dot tea cups and saucers and an eclectic mix of furniture, making for a tranquil space suited to a special birthday, girls' day out or bridal shower. A seasonal degustation of colourful canapes arrives upon towers to the table with the likes of spinach and artichoke dip with quackers, mild sweet chilli jam, feta and poppy seed tartlet and chicken and sweet potato bread cases. A high tea wouldn’t be complete without a well brewed pot to escort sweet treats of jam and cream lamingtons, date scones and caramel butter, or Portuguese tart.
