ABOUT THE TEA ROOMS
Afternoon tea at The Midland has been a highlight of the Manchester social scene, retaining popularity since the hotel opened in 1903.
As Manchester’s only setting dedicated to afternoon tea, The Tea Room at The Midland is one of a kind. Served in opulent surroundings overlooking St Peter’s Square, The Tea Room has its own knowledgeable team to guide you through this quintessentially British pastime. Enjoy a delightful Manchester afternoon tea at The Midland Hotel.
A LITTLE HISTORY
The Midland Hotel has the richest history of all the hotels in Manchester. First opening its doors on 5th September 1903, the hotel was owned and run by The Midland Railway Company and even incorporated its own theatre.
Since its grand opening, the hotel has had the pleasure of welcoming many a king, queen, president and rock star. Not to mention hosting many special events, including the rooftop wedding of Israel Seiff and Rebecca Marks (the daughter of the founder of Marks & Spencer) in 1910.
Today, this Grade II listed building is a luxurious escape with a contemporary twist, providing the perfect setting for our Traditional Afternoon Tea.
FOOD & DRINK
Offering a fresh approach to traditional afternoon tea, The Tea Room works closely with local suppliers and takes pride in sourcing the highest quality ingredients. Guests can choose from an extensive selection of bespoke loose-leaf tea served with finely cut sandwiches, freshly baked scones with jam and clotted cream, and a range of delicate cakes and pastries.
A reason to celebrate? Our Royal Afternoon Tea, which includes a glass of Champagne, is the perfect way to mark any occasion and enjoy this quintessentially British pastime.
Alternatively, indulge in a three-course meal at our Mount Street Dining Room and Bar, where you can enjoy sumptuous meat and vegetarian dishes.
