Glamorous and Instagram-Worthy: Afternoon Tea at Sunset by Australasia, Manchester
In the heart of Spinningfields, Sunset by Australasia offers a bold, vibrant twist on the classic Afternoon Tea. With its pastel pink interiors, floral installations, and ultra-glam atmosphere, Sunset is anything but traditional. This is Afternoon Tea reimagined, designed as much for the camera as it is for the palate, combining pan-Asian flavours, cocktails, and show-stopping presentation to deliver a modern experience in one of Manchester’s most eye-catching venues.

Perfect for fashion-forward foodies, hen parties, birthday celebrations, or weekend indulgences, Afternoon Tea at Sunset is a stylish escape into something playful and luxurious.

Asian Fusion Afternoon Tea
Unlike the typical cucumber sandwiches and Victoria sponge, Sunset by Australasia offers an Asian-fusion take on Afternoon Tea, pairing bold flavours with elegant presentation. Served on their signature blush pink stands, the menu features a range of savoury bites, sweet treats, and hand-rolled sushi, making for a refreshingly different approach.

The savoury selection includes creative options like chicken bao buns, duck spring rolls, and sushi rolls, beautifully plated and bursting with flavour. These light bites bring together Japanese and Southeast Asian influences, offering a more adventurous start to the Afternoon Tea experience.

In place of traditional scones, guests enjoy a variety of miniature desserts and patisserie-style creations. Think chocolate truffles, macaroons, matcha-infused cakes, yuzu tarts, and other delicacies that rotate with the seasons. Each sweet is crafted in-house and designed to delight visually and texturally, delicate, indulgent, and ideal for sharing.

The Famous Pink Afternoon Tea
Sunset’s most iconic offering is the Pink Afternoon Tea, which includes a glass of rosé prosecco or a pink cocktail alongside the food. Served in the venue’s unmistakably pretty aesthetic, it’s one of the most Instagrammed Afternoon Teas in Manchester, popular for birthdays, bridal showers, and girls’ days out.

The Pink Afternoon Tea includes all the usual fusion elements, bao, sushi, sweets, along with your chosen drink and optional extras like additional cocktails or a glass of Laurent-Perrier Rosé Champagne. There are also non-alcoholic versions available for those wanting the same experience without the fizz.

An Atmosphere Like No Other
Sunset by Australasia is known for its dreamy, sun-kissed interiors, pink booths, white drapes, golden accents, and floral ceilings set the tone for a luxurious escape. Whether you’re seated indoors or on the covered terrace, the space is designed for relaxation and aesthetic enjoyment.

The vibe is stylish and upbeat, making it perfect for groups of friends, couples, or solo diners who want something different from the usual tea room experience. Though the setting is more adult-focused, it’s friendly and accommodating, with vegetarian and vegan Afternoon Tea options available upon request.
