Harden's survey result
Summary
“Afternoon tea IS Bettys!". This old-fashioned tearoom is “always worth the queue” for its epic teas and fine spreads of pastries and sarnies. It’s also “a great place to meet over a very good breakfast. Coffee, understandably, is excellent!”
Summary
“The famous Bettys never fails to impress” – with its “lovely, old-fashioned atmosphere”, “terrific” service and food (spanning a “heavenly” afternoon tea and equally highly rated breakfast), this celebrated Yorkshire tearoom is simply “perfection”… “no mystery why there’s always a queue”. (The only gripe this year – “stewed tea… why can’t they use a removable infuser? #firstworldproblems.”)
Summary
This “bright and welcoming” branch of the legendary Yorkshire tearoom empire, which has just celebrated its centenary, has a real sense of style. Breakfast is almost as popular as afternoon tea, and “to have their full English with Swiss rosti (a nod to Swiss founder Frederick Belmont) is a very special treat”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
