Sarah was invited to review their newest addition to the menu the Lady Betty afternoon tea, available Friday-Sunday and by reservation only and is that little bit more special than their traditional afternoon tea. Since we share a love of afternoon tea and all things cake, she invited me along, and I’m so glad she did! We stepped through the doors just as it started chucking it down with rain outside, and we couldn’t have picked a better place to seek shelter.
They Lady Betty afternoon tea is served in the event rooms in both Harrogate and York, so we had ours in the perfectly decorated Imperial room in Harrogate.
While deciding on our tea choices, we were asked if we’d like a glass of champagne or a rhubarb champagne cocktail. We both opted for the cocktail and it was delicious! I’m going to try to replicate it at home and try to make my own rhubarb compote.
































The Lady Betty afternoon tea is a new addition and is £32.95 per person, or £39.95 per person with a glass of champagne or the rhubarb cocktail. As I said above, it’s only available in York and Harrogate Friday-Sun, or you can book it for a private function outside these days.
It is a bit pricier than the normal Bettys afternoon tea which is a more reasonable £18.75 per person or £26.50 with a glass of champagne. However, you do get more food, a wider selection, and a better tea selection, not to mention impeccable service as the rooms are used exclusively for the Lady Betty afternoon tea. Not to mention the emphasis on using fresh Yorkshire ingredients, I love it when businesses use whats around them and promote other local businesses.
I couldn’t fault it really, and loved our sweet waitress who we had a chat with every time she brought us something new. If it’s still on when my Mom next comes to visit I wouldn’t hesitate to take her as a special treat as it’s so quintessentially English.
Have you ever been to Bettys for afternoon tea?
