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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edmonton-hockey-team). "High Tea at BP is our playful twist on a tradition that's long overdue for a dad-friendly upgrade."
