Oh Me Oh My occupies space in Liverpool’s Grade II-listed West Africa House and uses the building’s stunning features to full effect. Art Deco tiles and reclaimed furniture offer the perfect setting in which to enjoy Oh Me Oh My’s ‘delectable’ afternoon tea, a symphony in classic cakes, scones and finger sandwiches.

The multi award-winning London Carriage Works on Hope Street serves up its traditional afternoon tea with fresh berries (a nice touch), delicately-cut sandwiches and cakes made by the in-house patisserie team.

Enjoy your afternoon tea from one of the highest restaurants in the UK. Pair this decadent selection of sandwiches, cakes, pastries and scones with a Bellini or two, and you’ll be on top of the world.

You can always count on Paul Askew to provide posh nosh and afternoon tea is no exception. Served in the Art School Cellars, this cheeky banquet features a sumptuous selection of sarnies (how does Loch Duart poached salmon with dill crème fraiche, cucumber and Keta caviar on rye bread sound?) and a mouthwatering selection of cakes and desserts including strawberry chouquette filled with Crème Diplomat. Bring. It. ON.

Set within the Titanic Hotel, the afternoon tea at Stanley’s Bar & Grill comes with a unique view overlooking the waters of Stanley Dock. These former warehouses were used as the backdrop to several major blockbusters and television series, including Captain America, Sherlock Holmes and Peaky Blinders. A must for film fans.

60 Hope Street is the kind of restaurant Scousers in the know keep up their sleeve for special occasions. Situated in a gorgeous old Georgian house on one of Liverpool’s most picturesque thoroughfares, 60 Hope Street is a stalwart of the city’s fine dining scene. All of which means that you can rely on the restaurant’s afternoon tea being superlative; choose between a pot of tea, glass of fizz or champagne.

We couldn’t resist a bit of an alternative pick here – the Baltic Social serves a Punk Afternoon Tea, which is about as far away from carefully cut finger sandwiches as it’s possible to get. Instead, think a mini cheese burger with baconaisse, honey chorizo skewers, deep fried ham hock and mac and cheese balls. In place of Victoria sponge there’s red velvet cake, oreo sponge and bubblegum cake. The veggie alternative also looks suitably rock and roll.
