Autumn at Harlow Carr - 9

No trip to Harlow Carr Gardens would be complete without calling in at Bettys Tea Room! The building sits so comfortably alongside the gardens.



Our Café Tea Rooms at the RHS Gardens at Harlow Carr in Harrogate offer all the delights of a visit to Bettys – delicious cakes, dainty pastries, freshly baked bread and of course, the high standards and friendly smiles – but in a very different location.

The 58-acre garden can be found on the south-western outskirts of Harrogate, and is home to peaceful woodland, meadows, flower gardens and seven historical gardens from the BBC series ‘Gardens Through Time’. As it’s located alongside rather than inside, you don’t have to pay to enter the gardens in order to visit Bettys.

In our shop you’ll find an extensive range of breads, cakes and chocolates, all made by hand at Bettys Craft Bakery, as well as a small delicatessen section with cheeses, pastries, salads and soups. For those who want a full menu there's our Café, whilst the Coffee Shop has a range of salads, sandwiches, cakes and pastries for a quick stop or light lunch. The Terrace, overlooking the gardens, must surely be one of the most beautiful locations to take afternoon tea 'al fresco' in Yorkshire... if not the country!

Finally, throughout the summer you’ll also find a Bettys Tea House in the middle of the gardens – the perfect place to buy a sandwich, cake and drink to enjoy as a picnic whilst you explore.
