If you know anything about Harrogate then you know Bettys is THE place to go for sweet treats and afternoon tea. It’s not just for tourists, Izzy and I are Harrogate born and bred and still love a cheeky visit to Bettys every now and again….


If you’re new here and want tome tips to make the most of your trip to Bettys make sure you check out my insider tips blog here.


But if you’ve already been to Bettys, you can’t face the queue and you want to try somewhere else then where else could you go?


MAMA DOREEN’S


For a super girly afternoon tea then we totally recommend Mama Doreen’s. It’s like a modern age Bettys with so many sweet treats and brunches to chose from.


Prices start from £27.95pp with options to add prosecco or to upgrade kids teas to ‘princess’ or ‘football’ afternoon teas! They always have incredible themed deluxe afternoon teas on offer too. Think Barbie, Wonka, Wizards and Bridgerton!!


If you are looking for something completely different, their limited edition Sunday Lunch inspired Afternoon tea is definitely one to try.

 


THE MAJESTIC HOTEL


If you want an afternoon in the grandest hotel in Harrogate then this one is for you.

Served in the beautifully decorated Carters Champagne Bar and Grill, the traditional afternoon tea includes a variety of sandwiches, a warm fruit scone served with clotted cream and strawberry jam along with a selection of cakes and macaroons. 

Prices from £28.00pp

Read more about it at the Majestic Website.



THE IVY HARROGATE


The Ivy fits in so well in Harrogate, I can’t believe it hasn’t been here that long.

If you are still looking for the indulgence of Bettys then get a table booked at The Ivy. It’s only a few doors down the street from Bettys so perfect if you are combining it with a trip around the shops.

Prices from £33.50pp
