About Burnt Orange

Tucked into Middle Head bushland, this heritage sandstone spot pairs wraparound verandah dining with sweeping Sydney Harbour views. Daytime regulars settle in out on the balcony for unhurried brunches, lingering over four cheese souffles and plates of Thai fish pie away from the city clamour. For milestone celebrations and afternoon gatherings, the kitchen rolls out tiered high teas loaded with house-baked savoury bites and warm scones. Late lunches lean into fresh bowls of spaghetti with clams and king prawns paired with crisp verjus-dressed kingfish tartare.

  • Wraparound Verandah Setting: Perched on Middle Head, the historic sandstone building features an expansive wraparound balcony overlooking native bushland and Sydney Harbour waters.
  • Turnkey Event Coordination: In-house planners handle full reception run-sheets and ceremony coordination, backed by dedicated indoor spaces ready for sudden rain.
  • Traditional High Tea: Served on tiered stands with vintage teacups, featuring warm scones, sweet petite fours, and savoury tartlets requiring 24-hour advance booking.

  • Peace of Mind on Milestone Days

    Hosts and couples enjoy stress-free celebrations, confident that back-of-house logistics and weather adjustments are handled smoothly.

    We were concerned about weather but they have such a beautiful wet weather option and as the rain was clearing, Tabitha had the great idea of still going out onto the lawn for the flower petal toss

  • Serene Detachment from City Bustle

    The tranquil bushland headland setting offers visitors an unhurried, peaceful escape from city pace.

    Very convenient location but feels a million miles away from the city hussle! So peaceful. Just the place to relax.

  • Traditional Afternoon High Tea

    Pre-booked tiered high tea presents warm scones, savoury bites, and petit fours in a secluded heritage atmosphere.

    A good High Tea is when the scones arrive still warm needless to say we were not disappointed. Sweet petite fours were fresh and morish.

Beyond the menu

Attentive hospitality touches and thoughtful gestures that elevate celebrations and visits.

    Couples preparing for weddings are granted venue access approximately an hour prior to ceremony start, giving parties calm, unhurried time to settle in.

  • Flexible Weather Event Adaptation

    Event coordinators actively monitor weather changes on wedding days, seamlessly adapting schedules like orchestrating lawn flower petal tosses as rain subsides.

  • Late-Notice Celebration Surprises

    The team accommodates short-notice custom surprise arrangements for partners during celebratory high tea gatherings on the headland.

  • Oven-Warm Scone Presentation

    High tea services present fresh, warm scones right out of the kitchen accompanied by homemade sweet and savoury bites overlooking the harbour.

Before you head over

Helpful advice on bookings, parking, and weather preparation for your visit

  • Book High Tea 24 Hours in Advance

    High tea requires a 24-hour advance booking, and weekend breakfast tables fill up quickly, so reserve well in advance rather than walking in.

  • Plan for Paid Meter Parking

    Middle Head parking is paid hourly at meters nearby, or you can look for street spaces further up Middle Head Road and walk down.

  • Layer Up for Verandah Seating

    Verandah seating can feel chilly and draughty on cold or wet days behind cafe curtains, so dress warmly or request indoor seating if rain is forecast.
