Afternoon tea is a classic British tradition. Rain or shine, there’s nothing quite like relaxing with some tasty treats – whether it’s scones slathered in rich cream or jam, light finger sandwiches,<\/a> or a steaming cup of your favourite tea.<\/p>\n With its vibrant waterfront, iconic landmarks, and rich cultural heritage, Liverpool boasts a range of venues offering delicious afternoon tea menus. <\/a>If you\u2019re craving a delightful indulgence, the city has something for everyone to enjoy; however, one is said to be head and shoulders above the rest.<\/p>\n New Care Homes, a care home operator based in the North West, compiled a list of the top spots in the area for afternoon tea. It sought to find the best of the best and named Voyagers Restaurant & Bar’s <\/a>\u00a332.50 per person deal as exactly that.<\/p>\n Having never experienced an official afternoon tea before, I felt it was time to see what all the fuss was about. And with the winner just a five-minute walk from my doorstep, how could I refuse?<\/p>\n I wasn\u2019t surprised Voyagers was named among the top spots. I have been to the restaurant several times and it’s yet to let me down. The restaurant is one of the city\u2019s more upscale offerings, and if the interior or customer service didn\u2019t tell you that, the prices on the menu certainly would\u2019ve.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the type of place you\u2019d choose to splash out on for an anniversary date or a graduation meal. And you\u2019d be in good hands if you opted to go here.<\/p>\n Sitting in a cosy, elegant space known as the Garden Room, with the sunlight streaming through the roof-to-floor windows, we were quickly presented with a tiered stand filled with delicate treats.<\/p>\n Starting with the bottom tier, there were classic finger sandwiches filled with Mrs Kirkham’s Cheese and red onion chutney, smoked salmon and cream cheese open sandwiches on focaccia and a salt and pepper chicken brioche bun.<\/p>\n The middle tier had warm, freshly baked scones served with clotted cream and the option of strawberry or raspberry jam. On top was a colourful choice of miniature cakes, pastries, and tarts. Each one was a tiny work of art, leaving you no choice but to savour each bite and enjoy the combination of sweet and savoury flavours.<\/p>\n However, the star of the show wasn\u2019t even on the tiered selection – it came on its own. The Scouse-inspired sausage roll<\/a> was filled with all the ingredients you\u2019d find in the traditional stew and, of course, meat. It was served alongside a dollop of beetroot ketchup, and the only downside – if you would even label it as such – was that I wished there was more of it.<\/p>\n While I couldn\u2019t fault any of the food, the afternoon tea prides itself on paying homage to Liverpool\u2019s unique culture, yet this could\u2019ve easily been missed.<\/p>\n Take the tart, for example, which is said to offer a Liverpool citrussy twist on a treacle tart, and the white-and-red macarons are nods to Strawberry Fields with its colours.<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile the nostalgic delicacy ‘dockers’ cake’ is a reminder of the spiced fruit cake originally made for dock workers who needed an energy-boosting snack while they worked on the bustling waterfront.<\/p>\n However, this wasn\u2019t flagged to us at the beginning. The traditional-yet-modern afternoon tea had a local twist, but it was barely embraced. Every element on the menu was supposed \u201cto tell a story\u201d, and yet we didn\u2019t even get a single chapter.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/0_IMG_0033jpeg.jpg\")
