    The food was bland and common. Excellent service, nice ambiance, but not worth £90 for tea and sandwiches. The scones were the size of a donut hole.

    It was my first time having afternoon tea, and it was lovely! I went with my wife for valentines, and he’s loved it too. Love pianist, lovely wait staff and a cozy atmosphere. We definitely want to go again in the future.

    Staff were lovely and were able to let us have our table early, our server was amazing and told us everything about what we had ordered and was very knowledgeable about the different teas available It was a lovely ambiance with the piano playing in the background and very chilled and relaxed to celebrate my 50th birthday

    Ambiance is a little dated. The piano, whilst nice to have, is too loud. The sandwiches are too big…not dainty fingers, but a medium sized bun, an over-filled open sandwich and a large finger. The cake selection this time was too sweet. I do not like plain scones and every time when I ask for all fruit, I normally get them….this time, instead of two small sour cherry ones, we were given 1large fruit one each….not warmed and again, not of Afternoon tea standard. We had Christmas tea at Betty’s in December and came away with much the same feelings about the sandwiches, but thought we would give them another try. We won’t make the same mistake again.

    Fantastic birthday treat from my husband and son. Really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, service and venue. Can highly recommend. Even popped into the shop afterwards for some treats. A memory I will not forget, a truly wonderful birthday experience. They even sang happy birthday to me and gave me a little cake fancy with a candle in. Nice touch. My 5 year old loved his little rascals afternoon tea and said it was the best day ☺️. Clean, friendly staff and relaxing environment too. Don’t hesitate, book it you won’t regret it.

    Very disappointing that a booking I made to celebrate my sisters 80th birthday was ruined because the amount for this treat had not been taken, and my sister ended up having to pay over £100. How embarrassing and distressing for her and really upsetting for us. Perhaps you can explain how you can take card details so you can charge for cancellations but not to pay for bookings.

    Super comfortable venue with live piano music creating just the right ambiance for afternoon tea celebrating a 92nd birthday. Lovely range of treats including vegan and GF which makes a great change. Everything beautifully prepared and as ever the service was excellent

    Great service from all staff especially Anna. Food was excellent. Catered to our dietary requirements really well. Betty’s (York) has a very interesting history and the building has an art deco ambiance about it.
