Afternoon Tea in Manchester

Have to say we had a really enjoyable afternoon there. The food was very nice and the staff were really lovely. Couldn’t fault it.

We found the venue, which was very pleasant, easily. The welcome was both friendly and efficient. The afternoon tea was one of the best we have had. Sandwichs, scone and cakes were all very good and there was plenty of evrything. (Box provided to take home what we could not manage). All together first class.

Was really impressed with the gorgeous fresh food and desserts served, even though today was one of the hottest of the year. Pots of jam and cream are supplied on each table for the delicious cherry scones. You certainly won't be hungry after this feast. There is also a bar onboard supplying both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, even tea/coffee. Loved the fresh flowers on the tables too. What a fabulous way to have an afternoon out on the water. I would definitely love to do this again. My sincere thanks to the staff for their attention to detail and great service. May I suggest that perhaps mini fans could be provided when experiencing extreme temperatures?

We had afternoon tea on a Saturday afternoon. We were greeted by warm staff, who couldn’t do enough for us. The sandwiches were delicious and the cream and scones were so generous we couldn’t finish it all. Other diners were relaxed and cared for by the staff and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and indulgent. We topped it off with a glass of cold champagne and then headed back out into the city. I will definitely be going back ??

Great afternoon, super tapas and cocktail delights.

The best ‘afternoon tea’ we have experienced. The full experience was amazing, the food was exceptional and the staff made us so very welcome.

We rang only the day before to check if Afternoon Tea was available on a Sunday knowing they served Sunday lunch. A check of the bookings, the call handler offered the option for anytime after 3.30. We agreed to 4pm. On the Sunday we made out way to what is a destination venue, it is nearly the last property in the rural village before the gate onto the North Yorks moors. The grange is a substantial stone dwelling, quaint and personal. Met in reception, despite being 15 minutes early we were welcomed and invited to sit in the sitting room or roam the gardens and someone would find us when they were ready. A quick tour of the rose garden, we were met on the small terraced lawn and offered the choice to sit onside or iunder a parasol at a table on the lawn. We chose to sit out and enjoy some sunshine. Once seated were were offered tea or coffee and asked if we had any allergies. The large pot of tea with a pot of hot water arrived with the pots of jam and cream soon followed by the tray of sandwiches. The sandwiches were in brown bread -alternatives were not offered- also on the platter were sausage roll, jam centered buns, peaches in elderflower jelly. The bread was soft the sandwiches fresh - the filling were good but no options were offered. The Elderflower jelly was a surprise and very refreshing!!! The teapot was sufficient for 6 decent sized cups of tea with a fresh pot and more hot water offered. Part way through the sandwiches a plate with home made warm scones arrived. They were very light and deliciously crumbly and went down well with the thick cream and strawberry jam. Staff came to enquire everything was ok and were chatty and friendly throughout. We were not pressed to leave even after we had eaten and we took the chance to admire the furniture and clocks. Would go again!!!

This was a great experience from start to finish. Our host, Jo, was perfect and entertained us and educated us about the history and process of making chocolate! Loved the tasting session and the chance to make our own bar! Would highly recommend this experience as a fun activity for family and friends, or a team building event!
