Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Grantley

Betty’s was as always a beautiful place for a treat of afternoon tea, the atmosphere is amazing, food was delicious, great value for money. We visited at 2pm we were not rushed to leave the table so had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves, and to top it all it left us feeling full for the rest of the day. Overall a thoroughly wonderful experience

Visiting Ripon for the weekend and researched places to eat and fortunatley found The Old Deanery. Set in lovely historic house that has been decorated with calm colours and a lovely relaxed feel. We arrived and were warmly welcomed and taken to our table. Limited covers in restaurant so we did not feel hemmed in at all and great to have lots of space around us. Started with a cocktail and opted for tasting menu with accompanying wine flight. Exceptional food from the start with great wines that complimented the food. Some amazing tastes and experiences and it was clear that there was a real enthusiasm for the food and drink The Old Deanery provided. Small portions but you need that with a tasting menu and great to be able to enjoy the component flavours of the food down to the micro herbs and dressings Just lovely to go somewhere out of a big city and get such a high standard of food and service. We took over 3 hours to enjoy our fantastic meal and felt cared for all the time with nothing too much effort. Would highly recommend and we will make sure we visit Ripon again so we can return to The Old Deanery.

I cannot recommend The Rise enough. This was my chosen venue for my birthday treat from my son. To coin a phrase: “ Our meal tonight was spectacular!” I’m my words: “perfection!” The beef wellington was mouthwatering and the suggested paired wine made it all the more perfect! The service was first class and our waiter was both attentive and professional, Thank you TK all at The Rise. 🍷

This was a perfect experience from start to finish. The staff were welcoming and expert. Our table was ready and we were greeted warmly and seated immediately. The atmosphere was very special - relaxed and comfortable with a lovely festive feel. Staff were keen to help with tea selections from the extensive menu, all served in silver teapots. The afternoon tea was exceptional! A delicious selection of traditional favourites with an elegant twist and the most perfect scones I’ve ever eaten! It was worth every penny and I would say this is a must for anyone visiting Harrogate.

Fabulous meal ,started with cocktails at the bar then at the table shared a calamari starter which was delicious. Next was a duck Rendang curry with Jasmine rice and fishcakes with a side of chips and we shared chocolate truffles to finish with something sweet. All served beautifully. Loved it all and would highly recommend.
