This waterside Manchester bar has launched a Pan-Asian Afternoon Tea

Award-winning waterside bar and restaurant Roby 1844 has launched a new Pan-Asian Afternoon Tea and brunch menu.

The all-new Afternoon Tea experience looks to turn the British tradition on its head’ with bold flavours and exciting dishes.

Available at £22.95pp, diners can expect a creative line-up of savouries including pork belly brioche buns, chicken baos, sesame prawn toast, vegetable gyozas and tempura courgettes. For sweets, there’s cinnamon crème brulee, spiced chocolate tart, mini waffles with whipped cream and pineapple, raspberry and coconut cake and coconut bread pudding.

Alongside the Afternoon Tea offering, Roby 1844 has also introduced a new brunch menu, served from 11am – 2pm on open days. Guests can enjoy a brunch dish and cocktail combo for £16.95, ideal for laid-back mornings and weekend get-togethers.

Dishes range from smashed avocado and garlic mushrooms on toast to American pancakes with streaky bacon and maple syrup. Other highlights include steak and fried eggs with chimichurri, mozzarella and tomato croissants and poached eggs with bacon, tomatoes and chilli oil on toast.

Sophia Kopacz, Marketing Executive at Roby 1844 said, “Afternoon Tea is a tradition we love here at Roby, but we wanted to give it a playful and contemporary twist. The Pan-Asian flavours offer something completely different and unexpected – it’s a real talking point and we can’t wait for everyone to give it a try! We also know our customers love a brunch offering, so we’ve added this new menu so visitors can have a relaxed, midday dish whilst enjoying a cocktail by the canal”.
