Scone in a flash at Bettys

What? Betty's, a quintessentially British tea room serving a range of delightful sweet and savoury dishes, along with a wide selection if teas, coffees and soft drinks. Far nicer than a pit-stop at Costa or Starbucks.

Where? York and a few other locations across the North, including Harrogate and Bradford.

Do? Go to 'Little Bettys' just off The Shambles. Yes there is more likely to be a queue, but it's set in a beautiful town house, making it a far more authentic experience, and is nestled among the more desirable shops.

Don't? Go without having a 'Fat Rascal' or at least a bit of someone else's (just make sure you're with that person). It's a scone-come-teacake that and is delivered to your table fresh out of the oven, well warm at least. Clearly their signature cake for a reason.
