3. Cafe Opus in Brindley Place is still offering this Summer its Afternoon Tea deal. At £10 per person, this is a wonderful way to relax over three tiesr of sweet and savoury delights.
Finger sandwiches, fancy cakes, scones with clotted cream, and fresh fruit preserve, and a pot of tea.
On top of this is can be taken weather permitting on a beautiful terrace looking out on peaceful Oozell Square.
Afternoon tea is served daily between 2.30pm-5pm at Cafe Opus at The Ikon Gallery, 1 Oozells St, Brindley Place B1 2HS.
Just a note, from my previous review. Cafe Opus is still serving a veggie and vegan supper menu for Meat Free Monday. All produce is market fresh. Every Monday savour all things veggie with a glass of house wine with every main course ordered.
It’s all from local produce as only Opus know how:)
Andy, you mention that The Boston Tea Party has “tea in teapots.” It’s been a long time since I visited England, but are you saying “tea in teapots” has become something unusual in England? How is it typically served?
It is often In mugs and cups. It’s a dying art:)
Andy, that is so sad! They need to read my How to Make a Proper Cup of Tea post! Other than in the rare places that serve afternoon tea, a proper cup of tea is nearly impossible to find in the US.
Yes that’s a good post. A lot of coffee shops and tea places do pots of tea. It is on the increase again. A lot more do loose leaf like Boston Tea Party. My point was mostly my humour, Thanks though for the comments. I appreciate your thoughts.
