Was given a voucher for a Cream Tea for Two, booking was very simple. Fantastic welcome on arrival and given a lovely glass of champagne each. We had the vegetarian and non vegetarian meal - sandwiches were ok, but the cakes and scones were fantastic. The service team were very attentive and riverside restaurant was lovely. Well worth considering if you’re looking for a cream tea in Manchester.
