Visit & Vibes

If you follow my blog, Youtube, or Instagram you know I like doing my random drives.

I have had Harrowgate on my list to visit for a while, and this weekend I finally did that.

I did a little research and found that Bettys Tea Rooms was the place to visit, and also to check out their afternoon tea….so I did just that.

On arrival I was shown a table downstairs, I am guessing to sit upstairs you need to book in advance.

Downstairs was ok decor-wise, a little dull but very relaxing.

The Food

So I knew I wanted to try the afternoon teas as I heard it’s a MUST when you visit here.

Spring & Summer Afternoon Tea £29.95pp
A Selection of sandwiches, scone with strawberry preserve and cream, miniature cake selection

On arrival, this looked nice, but I did notice there were only two scones which 99% of places I have had afternoon tea give you…also, the cakes on the top were tiny!

I started with the sandwiches…

I will start by saying they were very tasty and fresh, and every bite was nice but again I did feel there wasn’t really enough….maybe an extra one or two would have been better.

The scone I have to admit even though there was only one, was really nice and with the cream and jam, it was really good.

The cakes as I said were visually tiny and were gone fast but I still feel a few more would have been nice.

I got coffee with this and it was a nice coffee, but not once did I get offered any more which I have always been asked at all my afternoon tea’s anywhere I go.

Final Thoughts…

Overall it was just ok, everything had a nice flavour and very fresh but for the amount I was paying today it was a little short

I was with my mum today and she had the same, and when she ordered a top-up for her tea we had to wait a while before it was brought out….and yes we had to get the staff’s attention to ask for this top-up.

Sorry guys!
