About the Tea Room
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
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.
On the 1st August 2024, The Tea Room partnered with Pommery Champagne to bring a timelessly elegant experience which delivers the finest afternoon tea experience in the city. Manchester was a key export city for Madame Pommery in 1874, and this partnership celebrates her wonderful achievements and 150 years since she created the style 'Brut Champagne'.
CHOOSE YOUR AFTERNOON TEA
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.
