Boston Pizza's High Tea at BP Shares a Fresh Father's Day Experience

— June 2, 2025 — Lifestyle
High tea is typically seen as a dainty, feminine affair, but Boston Pizza is reimagining the experience with a twist for Father's Day weekend with High Tea at BP. At this limited-time take on the traditional tea party, guests can expect several notable swaps, including: scones for pizza slices, cucumber sandwiches for wings, and steeped tea leaves for cold beer poured straight from the teapot. High Tea guests will also receive a pack of complimentary golf balls.

"We love the tradition of elegant high teas for moms but saw a gap in these fine dining moments for dads," said Niels van Oyen, Director of Marketing, at Boston Pizza International. "High Tea at BP is our playful twist on a tradition that's long overdue for a dad-friendly upgrade."

Boston Pizza’s High Tea is available to book at select locations across Canada.
