Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Perfect afternoon treat

Stopped off after work for an afternoon treat and had a warm welcome from Ida. Was torn between a sandwich or an afternoon tea and Lydia recommended the Hatters tea which was perfect and hit the spot to sit and graze. This is one of...my favourite places to stop for a treat and the staff are always welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble, I would highly recommend booking in advance especially at the weekend.More

Disappointing visit. Boring food.

Very disappointed. I usually love this place but the prices are far too high now. The food was mediocre and the kids afternoon tea was very boring…dry cheese sandwich, one piece of dark chocolate cake, nothing like an exciting few things that it should be.

Magical, delightful tea room.

Booked here for a special lunch for my OH. He had smashed avocado with beetroot hummus and a salad (obviously better than I have just described!) and I had a cheese and onion pie, which came with gorgeous, crunchy yet fluffy chips, and the most...beautifully cooked carrots and broccoli that I have had for a long time. I had to give my chips to my OH as there were too many for me. He had Darjeeling with lemon and I had Blood Orange tea, which was delicious. I meant to ask if they also sold their tea loose to take home but forgot! Anyway, i finished with a creamy coffee with a shot of Cointreau in and my OH had a Glenfiddich. The people who served us were sweet, kind, elegant and gorgeous and the decor is to die for. A truly special place. Everyone in there was made to feel special. Delightful.More

Lovely breakfast

We were staying in town so came here for breakfast. It was as good as ever, great service. Whilst they’ve moved premises, the quirky interior hasn’t changed Highly recommend for breakfast or coffee/afternoon tea

Perfect gf/veggie/vegan afternoon tea

Looked all over Manchester for somewhere with space for my graduation party. So glad I happened upon Richmond Tea Rooms. I'm veggie and gluten free and another member of the party is vegan. Both were happily catered for with no problem at all. The afternoon...tea was delicious and looked stunning. The decor/theme is amazing and the staff couldn't do enough for you. Even my 87yo nan was impressed. Just a shame I'm too far away to visit for the evening entertainment.More

excellent night out

I had my Hen do at the Mad Hatters Tea Party , Booking this was excellent and they kept me informed off my booking . A week before my booking i got an email asking if anyone has a dietary requirement in which i had...a friend with a nut allergy and wondered if they could accommodate her . The answer was yes no problem . This was lovely because they catered for all my friends and could all join in . There light afternoon tea was beautiful and very fresh , i was surprised at the amount we all got . Lastly the entertainment was brilliant and very funny , they got everyone involved and you could also win prizes . All my friends had said what a great night it was . Well done Richmond Tea Rooms defiantly will be going againMore

I was there today, this cafe is beautifully designed, the menu is complete and the behavior of the staff was really friendly. The cake was unfortunately too sweet and after eating I didn't feel good.

Great place for a quirky afternoon tea

Great afternoon tea, reasonably priced for Manchester city centre and for the amount and quality of the food, great selection of savouries and cakes, the food was very good quality and good portions, service was good, we were served more or less as soon as...we arrived so could enjoy the fabulous decor with our food rather than sat waiting. The food was original and tasty and although busy, it was very relaxing. Will go back for breakfast sometime.More
