Afternoon Champagne Tea at Annie's Tea Room, Manchester

Another treat we had when on Shona's hen weekend was an afternoon tea at Annie's Tea Room in Manchester.

The tea room is owned by Jennie McAlpine, a Coronation Street actress, although she wasn't there when we visited.

Once the staff found out we were celebrating there was balloons and banners placed on the table, which was a nice touch.

There were a few tea to choose from, I had peppermint, with proper leaves and a strainer too!

And of course, we need to upgrade to a champagne afternoon tea, well it would have been rude not to, don't you think?

Sandwiches, warm scones with jame & cream followed by fresh cream cakes.  Sadly the plates were not emptied as there was just too much, but we did give it a really good go!

We were offered cake boxes but we were already struggling with suitcases and shopping so we had to decline.

On reflection it is a wee bit pricey - £25.00 for afternoon tea with Champers - having said that we ended up paying £35.00 each as we had extra pop, but for an experience it was worth doing I think  :)
