As you may have noticed from my previous posts I am a bit of a cake addict! I love Afternoon Teas as well... What is a more perfect, and British, past time then eating cucumber sandwiches, nibbling on scones and cake, all washed down with tea! It is also a great thing to do if you have a baby, you can take them along in the pram while you chat away to whoever you go with.
One of the best afternoon teas I ever had was last year at Betty's in Harrogate...
For
those of you who aren't aware of Betty's it is well known within the
local, Yorkshire, area for its amazing cakes and delicacies. It has been going since
1919 when it was opened by a Swiss baker... and it is a must visit
Yorkshire attraction if you are ever in the area (it has several shops
and cafes throughout the North Yorkshire area). (If you want to know more you can find lots of information on their website: http://www.bettys.co.uk/about-us)
There is always a queue outside the Harrogate cafe to get a table at this house of temptation. However, if you book afternoon tea you can avoid the line and go upstairs to the Imperial Room, where you will be treated to decadence and indulgence at its best. Involving a live pianist playing in the room there is an elegant but relaxed atmosphere, complete with beautiful silverware and scones that just melt in the mouth! Not to mention a selection of their amazing cakes!
I can't recommend this experience enough. It was a great treat for a birthday (I took my husband for his birthday) and I am now a Betty's convert... and I have discovered the deliver too! That is dangerous for my waistline...
