    Very well organised and easy to book in a first instance. Managed to reserve my table and followed by two reminders and a final confirmation for attendance. When I arrived, I was warmly greeted by the staff members and from start to finish it was a great experience for afternoon tea. There’s a great selection on the menu and they are very good at checking if there are any allergies and things to be aware of i.e. special occasion or any dietary requirements, etc. All the staff there are very consistent friendly and professional and made my afternoon tea for enjoyable. The atmosphere was wonderful very nicely laid out did didn’t feel too for more not too laid-back. It was very nicely done. I was at ease and felt very comfortable. Food quality was great and nice selection from the afternoon tea which I thoroughly enjoyed and there was a nice surprise with the scones. It was my first time experiencing a sour cherry scone which was very interesting and I would love to have it again in the future. Rest of the food from the afternoon tea was amazing and a great selection of tea and drinks to choose from. This was a wonderful experience and great value for me as well and I’ll definitely return again. I have been to Betty’s a few times and also different branches. I have to admit the service and the food quality is consistent all over.

    Extremely enjoyable experience overall - both in terms of food and ambience - to celebrate a friend's birthday., Staff friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Great music being played on the piano.

    I've waited 30 years to have the Betty's experience. I was not disappointed. Throughly enjoyed it. Perfect treat if your in York and want something a little different to all the pubs and restaurants.

    To be honest I was extremely disappointed with the entire experience. The sandwiches were really poor, service was poor an overall mediocre experience for a lot of money.

    Flexibly fitted us in an hour early. Plenty of nice food and drink, plus extra during and to go on request. Attentive service without being intrusive.
