For over 100 years Bettys has been devoted to lifting spirits with life’s little pleasures; handmade cakes, unique freshly baked products, beautiful Café Tea Rooms, rare and exclusive coffees and teas and continental-inspired menus.

There are five Bettys Café Tea Rooms in Yorkshire, each with its own shop where you can walk in and enjoy breakfast, lunch and an afternoon treat.

Bettys is famous for afternoon tea, and if you want to experience the finest we offer, you can book a table for our Belmont Room in York or our Imperial Room in Harrogate. You'll be serenaded by our pianist as you enjoy a selection of savouries, indulgent sandwiches, specially selected teas and irresistible dainty cakes and scones.
Join us for evening dining Thursday to Saturday, where we bring together elegant surroundings, a refined food and drinks menu. Also, for that extra dash of after-hours elegance, a pianist performs live classical covers of popular contemporary music.

I had been looking for an opportunity to dine here for many years. After attending a wedding in Ripon the previous day gave me the chance to book us in for Afternoon Tea. We arrived promptly on time and greeted kindly by the Team and taken to our table. There was a lovely hum and everything worked effortlessly. Our waiter (Ben’s) was very congenial and made it a lovely experience. The sandwiches, scones, and cakes were superb, as well as the choice of teas. Unfortunately I was driving so could not upgrade to champagne or Prosecco. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone.

Thoroughly pleasant and enjoyable experience. Food quality was excellent. The ambience was a not above other restaurants. Relaxing, soothing background music by a live pianist. Service as always incredibly polite. Only query I came away with was that I probably wouldn’t return until they seasonally changed the menu as we are non-meat eaters. Portion sizes were great.

Delicious food, would have liked vegetables included in the mince meal and then it would have got a higher score for food. Nice ambience with the pianist playing. Coffee too expensive for a cup. Glass of wine very expensive.

It was a joy to be having our evening meal in Bettys again after they stopping opening in the evening after Covid. It was a totally beautiful evening. Delicious food, and perfect service from the lovely staff. Every detail, from the water and wine glasses to the elegant lamps on the tables, had been considered. Our table was by the window, with the lawns and flowerbeds outside and the evening sun glowing. Bettys is a very special, unique place, particularly the Harrogate branch. We are so lucky to have it.

Very disappointing evening! Could hardly hear the piano! Drink service was a disaster. Food was very mediocre. Maybe evenings are not the way forward. The staff did their best but they are not trained to do a different service other than day service: the menu needs to be different - over cooked schnitzel, with a half pack of tomatoes, an odd looking gratin: desserts were good: the staff were professional and did there best. Would not go again.
