Midland Hotel Afternoon Tea Menu

We were fortunate to have afternoon tea at the Midland Hotel recently and enjoyed excellent service in their relaxing and plush tea room overlooking St Peter’s Square. Afternoon tea was served on a decadent cake stand – floor to table height. Savoury treats included delicate and light finger sandwiches and brioche buns filled with seasonal treats. This was followed by plain and fruit scones served with clotted cream and your choice of a selection of jams which were brought to the table in bowls and your choice was placed on your plate. The cake and pastry selection was outstanding – too much to choose from and in order to ensure we tried everything, we could only manage half portions of cakes so nothing was left untasted.  Below is the menu we enjoyed but this changes throughout the year to reflect each season’s natural larder.

There was no limit to the amount of tea you could drink or flavours you could try. One of the party was a coffee drinker and they were served freshly brewed coffee, topped up as often as required.

DOGGY BAGS

Doggy bag filled with scones to take away for those who cant quite manage to eat all the sweet treats served for afternoon tea at the Midland Hotel, Manchester.

Our tummies were absolutely full and we had no room to squeeze in the final two scones or the last slice of dark chocolate and orange sachertorte. This wasn’t a problem and our waitress was only too happy to supply us with a beautiful doggy bag to take home.
