The River Bar & Grill in Salford

Had an amazing Sunday lunch here, staff were very friendly and attentive, food cooked perfectly and a great view of the canal from our table

There's not much to say except everything is just perfect 5 💫 all across

Food, service and restaurant was amazing and was well worth the money. Amazing food in an amazing environment what more could you ask for.

Very nice and quite average value for money. Some staff were pleasant and others didn’t hear people properly

We came for Sunday lunch on 9 February 2025. We had 3 courses and they were all excellent. Complements to the chef! We received exemplary service from Denilson. Nothing was too much trouble and his warm and friendly manner made our afternoon extremely enjoyable. Thank you.

I pre-ordered a vegetarian afternoon tea. When we were seated, I was advised to let the server know which sandwich to exchange in place of the meat sandwich. The server didn’t give me the chance to do this, the menu was quickly taken from me and I was told the chef would make the substitution. I asked a question about the white tea and was told, I’ll find out for you but instead I was just brought the white tea which I hadn’t even ordered, only enquired about. Once the sandwiches were brought by another server, they quickly pointed out what all the sandwiches and cakes were. It was so fast and since we didn’t have time to read the menu properly in the first place, I hadn’t realised that one of the sandwiches was salmon, the description on the menu sounded like it was beetroot. I am a pescatarian but if you order a vegetarian afternoon tea, I wouldn’t expect there to be fish included. Also the meat sandwich had been replaced by a bog standard cheese finger sandwich, no chutney or garnish, very disappointing. Overall not a really bad experience but also not up to the same standards of other afternoon teas at the same price.

We received a voucher as a Christmas gift and got a 3 course Sunday lunch with a glass of wine. Such good value, beautiful food and chilled atmosphere.

Went for afternoon tea absolutely amazing the lady who served us was amazing although can't remember her name she had long dark hair very attentive spot on total credit to the business And then later Dwayne took over he was absolutely amazing too will definitely be back. Please pass on our thanks to both the young lady and Dwayne

Delicious food and lovely decor. Came because we got bought a buyagift voucher, and the menu was different from the al a carte menu online, so just be aware of that - the steak and sides incurred an additional fee (which makes absolute sense) Service was great, really friendly, helpful staff.

Beautiful venue to spend time with family & friends. The staff were really attentive & helpful

Afternoon tea in the River Restaurant is a fantastic experience made even more special by the excellent service we had from Arindam nothing was to much trouble for this guy.

What great, charming staff Lowenna was. Helpful and made me and my friend very welcome. Such a joy to meet smiling, chatting people.

Great choice of food, tasty food. Prompt service. Couldn't fault any of it.

We booked the Gala Evening on New Years Eve, the evening started off ok but then the food arrived!!!! Most of the courses were just about warm, the main dish was sent back as it was cold, we were all very disappointed as the meal was quite expensive towards similar venues, At the end of the evening the cava they served was warm and there was no fireworks to see in the New Year ,we understand it was raining but other venue's did there celebrations, just really disappointed with the whole evening, hope next year will be better.

We were staying at the hotel as a birthday treat and booked the restaurant 2 months in advance. We didn’t need to book, as we arrived at 8.30pm on a Saturday evening and there were only 5 tables in use. The room was quiet and not much atmosphere. We found that the menu was very limited. 3 main options ( excluding steak) , 3 starter choices and same desserts. The courses were slowly served and the main looked to have been sat under the hot plate for a while as the sauce had a film on it when it arrived. The food was really good, but we didn’t feel that for £170 we got an amazing experience.

Pathetic…..booked an afternoon tea using restaurant official website, spent 30pounds on Uber round trip just to find out that they don’t do afternoon tea after 5:30. Please fix your website so you don’t waste people time and money

This is our 2nd visit to the Lowri and won’t be our last! We had the Sunday lunch menu which was just perfect. Starters of smoked salmon and Caesar salad were so good. Then 3 of us had the roast beef, which, in our opinion, was exceptional! One of our party asked for her beef to be well done (very well done)! And this was done to perfection. The other guest had the cod which was equally delicious. Deserts were 3 sticky toffee puddings and 1 cheesecake, not a crumb was left! Our server was only 3 week into her post and was so engaging, professional and helpful- a credit to the team. Definitely recommend the Lowri Sunday lunch and will most certainly be going back.

I have just visited here with family, for afternoon tea. I booked this for my mum, sister and 9 year old niece, as part of their Christmas present. We were primarily served by a fabulous Bulgarian waiter called Ivaylo. He was lovely and nothing was too much trouble. He deserves a pay rise! We will definitely be booking again.

From the moment we were shown to our table to when we left was 100%.The staff were very professional.The food was excellent and would highly recommend.

Went after paying in advance for a family celebration for our Pearl Wedding Anniversary. Although we had paid, most of the meals have surcharges (£15 for steak, about £9 for lamb), sides not included (£4.50 for a small portion of fries or green veg), drinks priced extortionately (£3 for a 200-250ml bottle of Coke) and £5 for a bottle of water (charged us for more than we received). The waiter was useless when asked for ingredients of meals and quite rudely stood and read out the menu. Eventually for the 9 adults and 2 small children the meal cost us about £700 especially considering they had the audacity to add a service charge. Altogether very overrated, would not recommend in the slightest. UPDATE 2024!! It was like a completely different establishment. We went for a Sunday dinner for two with wine and it was AMAZING!! The staff were brilliant and our waiter advised me on the dessert and WOW!! He was spot on. Unfortunately we did not get the staff names and (due to forgetting to post this for 3 months) apart from the roast dinner cannot remember the rest of the menu. Give it a try and see. P.S. parking was included free!

Delicious food, lovely service and nice touches like the Christmas crackers. Overall a wonderful evening. We will be coming back for years to come.

We had a great time here. Great service, delicious food - the only negative was that the turkey sandwich was very bread heavy!

Overpriced food , not even that good , staff lovely and pleasant but won’t be returning.

We have just returned to our room after having a delicious meal at The River Restaurant. Our server, Amanda, was attentive, friendly, unobtrusive and professional throughout - a a real credit to The Lowry. Each course of our meal was perfectly timed with no fee lining if being hurried along, the food was beautifully presented, perfect temperature and most enjoyable. Thank you to Amanda everyone who helped to make our evening really special 💓

I would like to thank Erin and the conference and banqueting team for their continued support ensuring I have relaxed business luncheons as I have multiple allergies and food intolerances. Erin especially personally makes sure that I don’t eat anything which may make me ill, allowing me to relax and promote my business and concentrate on developing relationships to support the future. Hope to see you all this Wednesday for our Christmas do. Thanks again Erin. From Kate Fox

Champagne Afternoon tea. Very disappointed. Lack litre afternoon tea, sandwiches poor , hummus and pepper, a dry lump of French bread with salmon a chicken wrap and a cold cheese tart. Cakes were ok, service was non existent. Half of the teas on menu not available and could only really offer breakfast tea. Coffee was out of a machine as certainly not fresh brewed, another table of ladies were saying the same. For the Lowery hotel this was poor and I expected more. And to top it off we were seated in the back of the restaurant behind a partition screen so couldn’t see out of the river view windows and the service was disappointingly poor. I wonder if all the voucher experience are seated at the back as the waiter knew we had a voucher despite us not telling him. Well our voucher was still £80 and value was poor. I won’t be returning.

Not the best afternoon tea, should have more savoury choices as most were vegetarian choices apart from the half tikka wrap too many cakes. We have eaten better afternoon tea at a less priced hotel.

Service excellent. I think if you have a big appetite it maybe wasn’t enough . Found cakes a little bit sweet and sickly. I don’t like nuts in cakes which I didn’t expect. The mock tails were lovely. Took some cakes home and were inedible when we got home as the box was too big so they were jumping around 😂.

Very poor food for the price. Service was shocking either none existent or in your face hovering Atmosphere strained Hotel generally mon describe Would not recommend

We booked for a small annual family get together after a recommendation from a local friend who frequents the hotel often and phoned ahead to confirm the menu (set menu offered on weekdays). On arrival (party of 4) we were shown to a table without even asking us our name (probably because the restaurant was virtually empty) and given al a carte menu's. This menu was the same as the set menu but seemed considerably more expensive so we queried it. After a lot of faffing around the head waiter said he needed to consult with the manager and took photos on his phone of the menu that was on the Opentable confirmation e mail, as if he'd never seen the menu before - this took ages and we felt like second class citizens. By the time the waiter came back we had already made our minds up but when he said they wouldn't do the set menu we got up and left and went and spent a whole lot of money in an Italian restaurant elsewhere where the service was exemplary, friendly, welcoming and surprise surprise, it was busy ! A few lessons this place could learn from ! We'll never be back and neither will the friend who recommended it.

We were here for Afternoon Tea. The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable from Sule in the restaurant and beforehand and afterwards from Lowenna in the bar. Both members of staff are a credit to the Lowry Hotel. Thanks for a fabulous dining experience. Patrick and Karen McChrystal

Ok’ieh afternoon tea. Lovely cakes, not so great sandwiches. Service appalling! After being sat, it took 20 mins and me having to ask 3 different staff members for a wine menu, but apparently the people serving water or setting tables weren’t able to do this, only the girl on the front desk (who incidentally was lovely and the only member of staff doing anything), it then took a further 30mins for me to be able to order a bottle from same girl again. I asked for tea to accompany my afternoon tea, that never arrived. Ever. Atmosphere was rubbish, plastic plants, cheap decor. They almost lost our coats, took them 20mins to find them. Put my coat on top of a wet one when hanging so it was then wet when I put it on. I actually live in Manchester and this is the first time I’ve been to this place, I won’t be going again. Afternoon tea at midland is far superior

This was the first time we have been since Covid: We were not disappointed! We were welcomed by Gerda... delightful... very chatty. The evening was just as good, if not better than previously. We were of course delighted that Dwayne has returned. He was super attentive.. made sure everything was just perfect... charming member of staff! The menu was great... the cod was exceptional! We are now looking forward to our festive lunch in December and many more occasions at the River Restaurant. We would highly recommend!

Great experience, food was good! Service was pretty slow. Staff were so polite, courteous and welcoming.

Attentive service and decent food in pleasant surroundings. Birthday boy enjoyed it. Thanks

Great food and ambience. The mushroom shaped brûlée dessert was a lovely surprise.

Superb service. Attentive and very efficient. Spacious, elegant dining area. Superb Sunday lunch.

We was lead to believe it was a 5star experience well it was not expensive for what food you got we had Sunday meal well nothing to rave about to be honest parking was none existent could have had better at local pud for half the price

I was made to feel welcome and the service overall was excellent. The food was perfectly cooked and tasted fantastic.

Fantastic afternoon tea and the service was 1st class by Denilson

We had afternoon tea ☕ here and very nice it was.

The food and service were really good, it was let down with portion sizes, my partner and I both had the cod and thought the same it “it needed a few new potatoes or similar with it”

I decided to treat my wife for her birthday to afternoon tea at the Lowry hotel riverside restaurant, the waitress sat us near were you enter the restaurant so we didn’t feel comfortable so we had to swap tables, once our afternoon tea treats arrived we were pleasantly surprised and also enjoyed eating them, meanwhile from where we were sat in the centre of the dining area the whole ceiling light kept turning on and off as the rest of the diners were complaining to staff as did we as it wasn’t a relaxing environment to eat in dim light? Overall food and service good, ambience not relaxing and seating dirty and decor seemed a bit tired shame as we used to like this hotel.

Lovely afternoon tea for two! Not just simple sandwiches and cakes. 👌🏻

I was expecting a more sandwich ,and cake based afternoon tea. A very poor prawn wrap , dry pastry pumpkin tart, greasy mushroom ,and spinach pastry, small bun with ham probably the best of the savouries. Cakes although different were pretty much different flavour of the same heavy bottom and very rich topping. Tea and coffee , although coffee bean machine broke and waiter didn’t notice he served the weakest coffee that looked like weak tea. For a restaurant I’ve been to before and loved the food it was a poor offering

Started off really well service in the bar lounge area was excellent. when we went into the restaurant our starter was served promptly. We asked for a 20 minute break before our main course which turned into an hour by which time I was past eating and left most of my main course my friends did eat theirs.

Superb 5 star service, comfortable, well apportioned,.modern dining space. Beautifully presented, delicious food and we were looked after by Denilson and Rahela attentively and professionally. We were given a dining voucher as a gift, so we received our experience gratis, but it is something we will happily pay for on a future day out. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

A really lovely afternoon tea, good service, good ambience and excellent food

We have enjoyed our short stay The food was good despite limited menu Good customer service and good value for money

Great service and good food albeit a slightly limited menu

This is one of many times we have visited the river restaurant at the Lowry hotel Manchester, having afternoon tea, the service was very good and attentive staff, but found the choices of the day we're not to our liking , although one item was replaced with our asking , would have preferred the sandwiches with afternoon tea...

Exceptional food, some of the nicest exquisite food I’ve ever eaten and I eat out a lot, staff were so friendly and accommodating went above and beyond, beautiful setting views, couldn’t have been better. Pre theatre menu was exceptional value

Excellent service from Denilson.

Really disappointed Very limited menu choice available on a Wednesday evening Table in bar area rather than in restaurant area which is closed on a Wednesday Worst piece of steak I have been served and not cheap either (was not charged)All that said the hotel is fantastic and the breakfast excellent Would stay at hotel again without hesitation but not eat in restaurant !

Excellent food, afternoon tea and we had bar food . Service was great all round

Could not ask for anything better from a dinning experience.

We booked the restaurant as part of my daughter’s 21st celebrations as a family and I can truly say that we had an amazing time. The service and food is outstanding and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. This is the second time we have been and will certainly be booking for Sunday lunch again.

Amazing experience. Beautiful place, I'll come again.

First class dining experience with very pleasant and professional staff. Highly recommended.

We had an excellent meal at this restaurant. The food was cooked perfectly and the flavours brilliant. In particular the service from Gerda and Annalise was outstanding. They made our visit enjoyable and would highly recommend the restaurant.

Distinctly average food. They seem to have systematically drained everything of flavour. Underwhelming

The food was absolutely delicious , we had Sunday roast … 3 course menu fabulous !!! We also got 2 birthday chocolates plates

Great location, spacious location and tastefully decorated. Thoroughly enjoy the menu.

Excellent service. Beautiful food. We loved our afternoon tea.

The ambiance in the bar where we had our dinner was very nice overlooking the river. The food was very well prepared and the service great, especially from Annelise.

Great service, superb food, excellent table, terrific value for money. We'll be back.

Wow, the best afternoon tea EVER!!! Service impeccable, food off the scale

Having arrived at the hotel later on a Sunday we felt wearing in the hotel as the most sensible. What a good decision that was ! Greeting professional , very pleasant seating arrangement ( it has to be said it was not overflowing at 7.15 on a Sunday night ) the main courses of PORK Belly and Sirloin were simply excellent. What a pleasant change to have hot plates that means you do not feel rushed to eat a hot meal. Only disappointment was that there was no dessert wine to accompany my excellent Sticky toffee pudding . Decent 3 course meal for £35 in a quality environment - what’s not to live

We booked a table as we were staying the hotel and had the Sunday 3 course menu. The food was delicious, the beef was particularly good and we really enjoyed it.

Lots of hidden costs. No mention of cost for sauce to accompany steak or the price of water. Was served the wrong cooked steak and staff were baffled when we asked for the correct ones!

Very good food and wine with excellent service by very good staff. The atmosphere was excellent and the whole experience was just perfect. We could not fault anything. The best Kir Royale in town!! While it was expensive, it was very good value for money. There a very few restaurants inn Manchester where you can go and have the same experience.

Hi, we feel a bit disappointed with their service. There was some sugar on the table when we were at the table. We request the lady who is the reception lady to help to clean up. She said 'It's just sugar!' then she used her hand to clean the table. We can't believe that 5 stars hotel is doing like this. Her attitude was a bit rude but it's okay. Overall the staff are kind and nice. The food was outstanding but the lady made us feel not worth the 10% service charge.

Really enjoyed my Sunday lunch - set menu of 3 courses at 34.95. I had mushroom soup with bread roll and butter, roast beef and sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. Service was excellent and very friendly (thank you Skarlet). Will come again

Great food and service, good value for money. Not just sandwiches, different savoury options.

Really enjoyed our afternoon tea. I have never been before and was pleasantly surprised how nice everything was from the atmosphere, food, and service. I lost the card with our servers name, but he was lovely and made our visit special. I know it started with a D Demarious?!! Thank you for a lovely afternoon tea!

New Champagne Afternoon Tea menu was excellent. Savoury choices were very nice and the cakes were absolutely delicious. The usual very high standard of service. The setting in the River Restaurant was very comfortable and relaxing.

The tea set’s dessert is good and tasty. Recommend the tea set.

A fantastic afternoon, having afternoon tea at the Lowry Hotel to celebrate my Mother's birthday. The staff were beyond helpful and lovely, especially Denilson, who was so patient and kind with a giddy group of ladies! The food itself was really delicious, especially my vegan option (very inventive, and the cakes - wow!) I would definitely recommend for a special occasion or even just a really nice treat!

I would just like to - 'Thank' - all staff at - 'The Lowry Hotel' - Manchester - I had a fantastic meal last night - the staff made it a special meal - much appreciated - I would recommend - 'The River Restaurant' - to family and friends - I will be back - and next time I will stay the night and experience your recommended breakfast. Thank you all again - Kind regards, Miss Miriam Alice Royle.

Soup was cool and tasteless. Lemon sole was greasy and presented on a greasy plate with overcooked green shoots and virtually raw peas. Ordered side of new potatoes and received croquettes. Sweet skipped. Charged £72 but don't know how this was arrived at.

Visiting for the Sunday lunch and had a fantastic afternoon and meal. All 3 courses were excellent and good value. The waitresses were very friendly and attentive. The only slight negative was the furniture wasn’t of an equal standard. Would highly recommend and would hope to visit again.

Booked an afternoon tea as a pre wedding treat for my niece. The lovely Gerda couldn't have been more helpful in arranging our booking. We had many questions about our dietary requirements, Gerda checked everything quickly with the minimum fuss. She is a credit to the Lowry, providing excellent customer service with patience & a smile! The tea itself was nice, our only dislike was the onion tartlet; this was red onions piled into filo pastry, the onions overpowered any flavouring & made us feel 🤢 The restaurant ambience is nice would definitely visit again.

Afternoon tea was beautiful. Plenty of food and so tasty. The service was brilliant - attentive and pleasant staff. It was a great experience experience.

Mainly a very good experience However I had the roast beef that had been cooked just as I requested but for the money I expected a bit more than one small thin slice of beef Good for someone on a diet. Also when booking I asked if I could use one of my Barclaycard £10 rewards cards this was confirmed. On the day nobody had heard of them Roy

Gorgeousbord Smorgasbord Afternoon Tea! This afternoon tea comprised an exceptional spread of top quality sandwiches cakes and scones accompanied by a choice of a selection of finest teas. We felt thoroughly indulged and well looked after by all the staff and spoilt for the quality (and quantity!) of food served; every bite was an eye-opening Mmmm melt in the mouth moment; the chefs did an outstanding job to deliver such a variety of exceptional quality treats for us all. We were served by beautiful Nijma, whose Mother's Day greeting was delivered with such a personal note, that it was as if it was from my own daughter. Nijma showed us the tea selection and we chose one pot of chocolate tea and one pot of coconut tea - an extra shout out for the coconut tea! While Nijma was attentive to our every need throughout our experience, I noticed all members of staff were immaculately presented and observing a keen attentiveness to making sure everyone was happy, without any intrusiveness - nods and smiles all round. I was very impressed by the entire presentation, which doesn't seem feasible for such a small price; all the beautiful cut flowers, both around the centrepiece buffet and on every table; each immaculately presented with linen clothes and napkins. I do not believe there was a better Afternoon Tea spread anywhere else in town today and certainly no better value - I don't know how they did it, but am so happy they did. Thank you to every one who worked so hard to make this Mother's Day one to remember for all the best reasons. From the reception staff (arranging the free parking - thank you!) to the function room chefs and front of house servers - and the live artists who sang and played for us - A Big Big Thank you!

Was good only Fault was the lady who was a front desk how she was saying do you mind paying the amount sounded like she was looking down on us very judgemental

Absolutely amazing service very polite staff couldn't do enough for you always checking that you was happy and being looked after such a beautiful stunning hotel I will be staying again

Pretty poor for a 5 star hotel, sandwiches were dry, had to send the milk back as it was on the turn. Toilets a disgrace. Attention to detail was lacking. The little vase on the table was dirty, some of the plants as decor were lob sided, the main waiter had stains on his trousers. Very disappointing!

The meal in the River Restaurant was rather disappointing as we had expected excellence. The first negative was that the menu was very short, so we were quite limited in choice. However, we had decided to treat ourselves to a favourite red wine - Amarone (£135) which should go very well with our choice of sirloin steak. Unfortunately, on tasting the wine it was found to be thin, tired and flat rather than opulent, rich and full-bodied as should be expected with Amarone. In fairness, the manager accepted my comments and allowed us to chose an alternative - a Nero D'Avola (£36) which proved to be much more acceptable. We both chose the wild mushroom veloute to start. Whilst this was quite tasty, unfortunately it was not a veloute which is supposed to be 'velvet' smooth; it was a soup containing large pieces of mushroom. We both had sirloin steak which was certainly satisfactory but the whole dining expeerience had been undermined by the issues previously mentioned.

We were seated in the quiet area at the end of the bar as main restaurant does not open Monday to Wednesday. Nice area sectioned off from the bar about five six tables in this location. The service is very attentive and friendly throughout. The food is wonderfully presented and first class as you would expect from a 5 star hotel. We had some Sourdough breads which had been cooked on the griddle with Chicken Fat butter and Dill salt flaks. Main of sous Vide Guinea Fowl Breast, Jerusalem artichoke etc. Burnt Leeks with Maluns potatoes. Sides of Boulangere potatoes and glazed carrot and candied pecans. What fantastic tastes. Deserts of cherry cheesecake actually shaped like a cherry with different crams etc and a brambly apple mousse, caramelised bread slice and other creams etc. See pictures of all food to see how good they looked. Very nice evening was had by both of us. One comment you don’t need two separate members of staff keep asking how the food is every time. Just the one pleasant younger server would have been sufficient.

Went for birthday dinner with friends, Food was 10/10, the service was fantastic. Mahfuz was a wonderful waiter/chef and extremely friendly . Alongside the staff, my experience worthwhile.

Nice atmosphere fancy afternoon tea good service.

The dining experience at the Lowry Hotel exceeded all expectations. The exceptional quality of the food showcased a perfect blend of flavors and meticulous preparation. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, leaving a lasting impression. The attentive service by Paul and the team added to the overall enjoyment, making it a memorable dining experience worth savoring again. Breakfast. (Wow) The breakfast at the Lowry Hotel was truly excellent. From the diverse menu options to the freshness of ingredients, every aspect contributed to a delightful morning meal. We opted for the healthy breakfast. The attention to detail and prompt service elevated the experience, setting a high standard for hotel breakfasts. Highly recommended for a satisfying start to the day. Big thanks to the chefs service team. Outstanding Russ

Really great high tea. Interesting food, excellent staff and a lovely, relax but beautiful atmosphere. I would say the scaffolding does take something away from the view, but this will not always be there. Recommended

Najma was an excellent server/host, she alone is enough for us to come back! She made us feel comfortable, answered all the questions we had and was an absolute delight at the Lowry!

We booked the adult and kids afternoon tea for a birthday celebration with our friends and had such a lovely experience. We had 5 little humans and all the staff were so patient and attentive to our needs. Food was fresh and tasty and we can’t wait to come again. I’d like to mention some specific staff who made our visit special: Arindam, Gerda, Gigi, Fatih, Rebeca and Nathan.

Although disappointed that the restaurant did not honour the original price shown on the website and on the menu (which we would have done in my 4* hospitality environment), the operational team delivered above expectations. We (11 of us) were given the option of a private dining room, which we took, and we were also given a complimentary glass of wine. All three beautifully presented courses of the Sunday Lunch were excellent, and the service was attentive at just the right level. Full marks (5 stars) to the team on the day!

Visited in a couple for Sunday lunch which had been bought for us as a gift. Staff were welcome and explained everything. It’s defo slightly more formal than I like personally, but that’s only my preference. I like a relaxed feel. Food was 10/10 and service was excellent but not rushed. The parking at the hotel is very convenient and it’s close the Deansgate. Would recommend 👍

My sister and I booked the restaurant as a treat to our mother. I had booked the afternoon tea online for the three of us and requested one vegan, one vegetarian and one traditional tea. We arrived early and sat in the bar area where we enjoyed a delicious cocktail each, the ruby, the Long Island and a champagne cocktail. Although the bar service was slow it did not hinder the wonderful experience. Once seated we were given an overview of how the afternoon teas would arrive; confirming one vegan, one vegetarian and one traditional. We upgraded the afternoon tea to the champagne afternoon tea and were presented with the two menus, One vegan and one traditional. I queried where the vegetarian option was to be informed there was no vegetarian option available. The afternoon teas arrived beautifully presented minus a specific item from the menu. We asked for the missing item which came without hesitation. Overall my mother, sister and I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience with a delicious afternoon tea. If there was to be any improvement from a 4 star review to a 5 star, it would be for a plain vegetarian option as originally offered and for the service to have attention to detail.

The food and service were 5 star as you would expect from the Lowry. A really lovely afternoon tea and experience that I would recommend to anyone.
