Along with the hallowed Sunday roast, the afternoon tea is also part of the English DNA. With that in mind, Manchester has some fine examples of the art of pairing cakes with little sandwiches, tea and scones (you can keep the cream first/jam first debate, however, it’s a distraction).
As King Charles III prepares for his momentous day, an afternoon tea experience befitting such an auspicious occasion might be just the very thing. Here are some of the city’s very best…
Lowry Hotel
In the opulent surroundings of the Lowry Hotel, you’ll find one of the best afternoon teas in town. They’re upping their already lofty game for the Coronation too. Among the sandwiches, there’s an egg-mayo royale with smoked salmon and caviar and a peppered bavette steak brioche slider served with a potato crisps, parmesan mayo and rocket. Then, for the sweet of tooth, a gariguette strawberry and crème brûlée tart, or a Grand Marnier-soaked carrot cake gateaux. There are scones and tea, of course, with prices starting at £27.50.

Grand Pacific
There are few grander rooms in the whole of Manchester than the dining room at Grand Pacific, formerly the Reform Club. Better still, perhaps, there are a wealth of options - from the Chocolate High Tea to the opulent Champagne High Tea. On the savoury side, there are prawn cocktail vol au vents and duck and hoi sin Sausage Roll, while making the argument for the sweet are chocolate macaroons, salted peanut and caramel tarts and a classic sherry trifle. Prices start from £25.95.
