As I have grown into adulthood I feel I have aged years! I do a textile degree course where my specialism is knitting and my all time favourite past time is having afternoon tea!
My all time favourite place to go is Betty’s for afternoon tea and select from their mouth watering spread of enticing cakes. Betty’s always feel like stepping back into the 1920s with its art deco style and prim and proper demeanour. It’s silver gleaming tea service and delicate tea cups make it truly magical!
There are several all based in Yorkshire, England. Fortunately I have been privileged to attend several. Recently I have been up to the one in York town centre when on a special trip for my 21st birthday! Really when visiting York you should go to little Betty’s for a cosy and ambiance but unfortunately due to its size it often too busy to get a seat! However, not getting into little Betty’s is not the end of the world as there is there other one on the main high street and we queue up eagerly awaiting to be seated at one of the marble tables. It’s ever so quaint!
Being such a special occasion we opted for the more expensive pink champagne afternoon tea, which was absolutely delightful. What came was a selection of bite size sandwiches, on our stand we had roast chicken, egg with cress and cooked ham.
After our sandwiches we moved on to the beautiful scones with strawberry jam and Cornish clotted cream. Scones we lovely and light and tasted wonderful! Once we had started on the scones we poured the Betty’s tearoom blend tea from the shiny tea pot making sure we used the petite tea strain.
Finally, reaching the top layer of the stand we nibbled on the divine little cakes. I was defeated after the first bite and asked if they would be kind enough to package them up to take away with me. They reappeared quickly in a lovely little box in a Betty’s paper bag.
If you are in the vicinity of a Betty's Tearoom it is well worth a trip!
For those of you wandering to the location of Betty's Tearooms they can be found here!
