There’s honestly nothing quite like tucking into a proper afternoon tea right by the seaside. Whether you are a local hunting for a weekend treat or you are just wrapping up a sunny day down on the coast, Scarborough has some absolutely cracking spots serving up towers of proper sandwiches, warm scones, and brilliant homemade cakes.

To help you avoid the usual tourist traps, I have rounded up six of the absolute best places for afternoon tea in Scarborough, covering everything from fancy country estates to cosy town centre hidden gems.

Asquith Hall

Address: Lady Edith’s Drive, Scarborough, YO12 5TD

Opening Times: Served Daily 12:00 to 16:00 (Must be booked by 10:00 am the same day)

Prices: Afternoon Tea – £35 pp, Sparkling Afternoon Tea – £38 pp (includes a glass of Prosecco), Champagne Afternoon Tea – £45 pp (includes a glass of Champagne)

Tucked away inside the gorgeous grounds of Asquith Hall Hotel & Spa, right on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, this place is your go-to if you want a proper luxury treat with a bit of a special occasion feel. You can choose to have your tea served in their cosy lounges, the rustic Courtyard Restaurant, or even out under a thatched gazebo if the British weather is behaving itself.

This one is a total classic rather than a quirky alternative. You can look forward to perfectly neat little finger sandwiches with traditional fillings, followed by super fluffy homemade scones piled high with thick clotted cream and jam. The top tier finishes things off with a changing lineup of elegant little desserts. If the sun is out, definitely grab a table on one of their pretty terraces so you can soak up those lovely countryside views.

Palm Court Hotel

Address: St Nicholas Cliff, Scarborough, YO11 2ES

Opening Times: Mon to Sun 12:00 to 17:00

Prices: £25 pp or £32 pp with Champagne

This independent, family-run spot is absolutely perfect if you want a premium lounge setting, but you’re a bit tired of the usual cucumber fillings. Guests can enjoy afternoon tea in Palm Court’s elegant, air-conditioned dining lounge, and there’s more than one menu on offer.

Purists can stick to the Classic afternoon tea, which comes loaded with rare Yorkshire beef, smoked Scottish salmon, and Coronation chicken sandwiches, plus sweet treats like pavlova and carrot cake.

However, if you prefer savoury flavours or you are trying to cut back on the sugar, you definitely need to try their unique savoury selection. It completely swaps out the standard cakes for rich mini prawn cocktails, artisanal sausage rolls, a Glaves award-winning pork pie, a fish cake, and a savoury cheese and chive scone served with cheddar cream and a brilliant bacon jam.

Emma’s Coffee Lounge

Address: 30 Huntriss Row, Scarborough, YO11 2EF

Opening Times: Mon to Sat 09:00 to 16:30, Sun 10:00 to 16:00 (Give them 24 hours’ notice for afternoon tea)

Prices: £17.95 pp or £21.95 with prosecco

If you are looking for an informal, mega cosy spot that focuses entirely on proper home baking, Emma’s Coffee Lounge is a fantastic choice. It is tucked right in the heart of the town centre, just a short walk from the main shops and the South Bay beach lift, so it’s a super handy stop off for families.

Their tiered stands are incredibly generous and offer superb value for money. Along with the usual sandwiches, they load the platters with fresh quiche, mini savoury pastries, fluffy scones, and a brilliant selection of their signature homemade sponge cakes. My absolute favourite detail is that you can actually order one to take away– perfect for a beach picnic on a sunny day!

Daisy Tea Rooms

Address: 513 Scalby Road, Scalby, Scarborough, YO13 0NW

Opening Times: Tue to Sat 10:00 to 16:00, Closed Sun and Mon

Prices: £21.50 pp

Based just on the outskirts of the main town in the lovely little village of Scalby, this buzzing neighbourhood tearoom is always packed with local foodies, which tells you everything you need to know. They love running fun themed menus for holidays and special events throughout the year, but if you are just dropping in for a standard visit, you definitely need to try their famous pancakes alongside their classic tiers.

Their afternoon tea selection offers fantastic value, giving you a brilliant mix of lemon scones, fresh cheesecakes, quiches, and crisp salads. This is also my absolute top recommendation in Scarborough if you are trying to find somewhere that caters to dietary requirements, as their kitchen regularly turns out incredible vegan and gluten-free variations that taste just as indulgent as the standard menu

Chameleon

Address: 19-25 Bar Street, Scarborough, YO11 2HT

Opening Times: Wed to Thu 12:00 to 21:00, Fri to Sat 12:00 to 23:00, Sun 12:00 to 18:00 (Bookings only for afternoon tea)

Hidden away on Bar Street, which is one of Scarborough’s coolest and oldest pedestrian lanes, Chameleon has a wonderfully laid-back, independent vibe. The team here focuses entirely on using great quality local ingredients to put together affordable, flavour-packed food.

An in-house baker makes every single component of this tea fresh on the day. The tiers come stacked with fresh savoury sandwiches, deli-style sausage rolls, homemade quiche slices, and classic scones. If you want to make a proper afternoon of it, I highly suggest opting for their sparkling upgrade to get your own bottle of Prosecco, or going all out with their brilliant 90-minute bottomless package.

Mansion House

Address: 14 Belmont Road, Scarborough, YO11 2BB

Opening Times: Served daily 12:30 to 16:30 (Essential bookings only, maximum 6 guests at a time)

Prices: £45 for 2 people, £55 for 2 people with a glass of Prosecco

For a peaceful, premium experience right on the cliffside overlooking Scarborough’s famous South Bay, Mansion House does a beautiful job. You can delve into your immaculately presented spread inside their lovely, classic period lounge, or, should the Yorkshire sun make an appearance, head out onto the patio for incredible sea views.

Their pre-booked set menu balances sweet and savoury flavours perfectly. It features freshly prepared sandwiches, warm sausage rolls, and an excellent selection of artisan cakes alongside the obligatory golden scones with jam and cream. Because they only take tiny groups at any one time, the service feels incredibly personal and exclusive, like your own private hidden retreat.

Best Lunch Deals Under £10 in Leeds City Centre

Looking for a lunchtime bite that won’t break the bank? These city centre gems all offer a delicious daytime meal for under a tenner…

Manahatta (Greek Street)

29 East Parade, Leeds LS1 5PS

Head to Manahatta between Sunday and Friday and you can enjoy their upgraded 2026 meal deal, which now offers a dish and a soft drink for £9. It is a fab way to grab a satisfying meal without breaking the bank, especially since the deal is available all day rather than just at lunchtime.

One standout option remains the Holy Cluck, which is essentially where a grilled cheese meets a chicken parmigiana. It is packed with breaded chicken breast, marinara sauce, and a trio of melted mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and cheddar cheese, all served in toastie bread with house fries and a herby marinara dipping sauce. If you’re looking for something else, the deal also covers any dish from their Brunch and Lunch menu, like the Manahatta Club or the Avo-Licious, as well as the Deluxe Burger or the Not So Caesar.

If you are in the mood for something a little stronger, you can still upgrade your soft drink for just £2 to enjoy a 175ml glass of house wine or a pint of Madri, making it the perfect treat for some midweek relaxation. For those wanting to go all out, you can even upgrade the meal itself to a Flat Iron Steak with fries and a mini Caesar salad for just an extra £1. That’s a bargain!

ThatZiki

Trinity Kitchen, 27 Albion Place, Leeds LS1 5AT

A personal favourite when in Leeds for a spot of retail therapy is the fantastic ThatZiki in Trinity Kitchen. These guys now have a permanent spot from which they serve their unbelievably good gyros, and I LOVE them. Choose from chicken, pork, a combination of the two meats or salty halloumi, stuffed into a soft pita with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, fries and your choice of sauce.

Super filling and a bargain at just £8.50! There’s also a vegan version available, so non-meat eaters don’t have to miss out on this brilliant offer! If you’re feeling extra hungry (or you’re my husband), you can upgrade your gyros for £12.50 and get double the filling in an oversized pita.

Little Bao Boy

3 Sovereign Square, Sovereign Street, Leeds LS1 4BA

From their resident kitchen at the North Brewing Co taproom on Sovereign Street, the iconic Little Bao Boy is serving up a stunning array of fluffy, cloud-like bao buns with a diverse selection of creative fillings. Having started as a street food favourite, they’ve truly mastered the art of the bao, and the vibe at the taproom makes it one of the coolest spots in Leeds for a casual bite.

These are easily some of the best baos in the city, and their lunch deal is an absolute steal for anyone working in or visiting the city centre. You can grab two of their signature baos plus a side of fries for just £11! It is the perfect portion size for a midday refuel without that heavy afternoon slump.

Available Monday to Friday from noon until 4pm, the deal allows you to mix and match from their lineup of fan favourites. I’m a huge fan of the KFB (Katsu Fried Buttermilk Chicken), which comes topped with a delicious katsu curry mayo, but the Chicken & Gravy is a brilliant, comforting twist that you don’t see everywhere. For those who love a classic, the Char Sui Pulled Pork is slow-cooked to perfection, while the Salt & Pepper Aubergine is a must-try for vegans or anyone looking for a crispy, flavourful plant-based option.

The combination of the soft, steamed dough and those bold, punchy Asian flavours, paired with a fresh pint from North Brewing if you’re so inclined, makes this a cheap lunch ritual you’ll want to repeat every week.

Bundobust

31–32 Park Row, Leeds LS1 5JD

Bundobust has been one of Leeds’ most celebrated restaurants since the day it opened, and for good reason. It combines authentic Indian street food with a craft beer taproom in a way that shouldn’t work on paper but absolutely does in reality. The vibe is always buzzing, and because it’s a walk-in-only spot with no bookings taken, it’s my favourite place to just turn up and grab a bench whenever the craving hits.

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly lunch that doesn’t skimp on flavour, this is where you should go. The menu is built entirely for sharing, with most of the legendary small plates still priced at under £7 each for 2026. You can easily get a satisfying lunch for two for well under £20, which is incredible value for food this good. You can’t visit without ordering the Okra Fries – they are seasoned to perfection and totally addictive – and the Vada Pav, which is a spicy mashed potato burger that is pretty much the ultimate Mumbai street food comfort meal.

While they are unlicensed for spirits, their craft beer selection is exceptional, featuring plenty of their own Bundobust Brewery brews designed specifically to pair with the spices. This lunch deal in Leeds is available all day, every day, so give it a go – no excuses!

Manjit’s Kitchen

Leeds Kirkgate Market, George Street, Leeds LS2 7HY

Kirkgate Market is one of the best spots in Leeds to grab cheap eats without compromising on flavour. The market is packed with independent stalls and eateries serving up a variety of tasty lunch options for under ten pounds. One standout has to be Manjit’s Kitchen, an Indian vegetarian kitchen known for its incredible street food.

If you want to add some spice to your lunch break without breaking the bank, Manjit’s Kitchen is the place to go. Everything on the menu is under £10, making it easy to explore different dishes. For the full experience, try the £7.50 Thali, which comes with cumin rice, a mixed salad, two curries, and a roti. And if you fancy a little extra indulgence, their crispy onion bhajis are just £1.50 each.

Best Set Lunch Menus & Two-Course Deals

For something a little more indulgent, several city centre restaurants offer set menus at great prices. Here are some of my favourites:

Whitehall Restaurant & Bar

West Point, Whitehall Road, Leeds LS1 4JY

Whitehall Restaurant & Bar is an excellent choice for those who want to stay close to the city centre yet away from the hustle and bustle. This chic and elegant restaurant boasts spacious interiors with floor-to-ceiling windows as well as a wrap-around terrace for al fresco lunches and summer cocktails.

From Monday to Saturday between 12 pm and 5 pm, diners can enjoy two courses for £20.95 or three for £27.95. The options are brilliant too – think British classics prepared using the best ingredients and a great deal of culinary expertise. Main courses currently include a generous portion of Fish & Chips, a delightful Pork Belly dish (I highly recommend trying this – it’s delicious), a vibrant Pea & Mint Risotto, plus salads, pastas, grills and more.

The desserts are just as good as the mains. I ordered the Tropical Cheesecake, which is served with coconut sponge, granola, and an incredible mango & passionfruit sorbet. My other half chose the Dark Chocolate Brownie, which was wonderfully rich and moist. Two desserts that neither of us will forget in a hurry!

Browns Brasserie & Bar

The Light, The Headrow, Leeds LS1 8TL

Browns Brasserie & Bar in The Light is one of Leeds’ most beloved all-day dining spots, and their freshly launched spring/summer menu is a very good reason to make it your lunch destination of the moment. The new menu is a celebration of British brasserie cooking at its seasonal best – elegant without being fussy, and genuinely impressive for a weekday lunch. This season’s offerings include new starters like Asparagus and Poached Egg with hollandaise and crispy leeks, and fresh, vibrant main courses such as Cornish Sole, served with sautéed baby potatoes and clam & pancetta butter – delicious!

Monday to Friday from noon until 7pm, two courses cost £19.50 and three cost £24.50 – exceptional value considering the quality and setting.

Banyan

2 City Square, Leeds LS1 2ES

Conveniently located just a stone’s throw from Leeds railway station is Banyan, an elegant yet laidback bar and restaurant serving globally inspired cuisine. For 2026, their popular two-course offer is still running Monday to Thursday for just £15, where you can choose a main course and pair it with either a starter or a dessert.

To start your meal, you can pick from five different options. These include the Bang Bang Chicken Skewers drizzled with satay sauce and caramelised peanuts, Thai Sweetcorn Fritters with gochujang ketchup, or the Salt & Pepper Squid. For those who prefer something lighter, the White Bean Houmous served with hot honey and toasted flatbread is a great choice.

For the main event, the current menu features flavourful dishes like the Chicken & Chorizo Pasta or the Lemon & Herb Roast Chicken on a bed of sweet potato and pesto mash. A standout choice remains the Deluxe Burrow’s Burger, served with house fries, where 25p from every sale is donated to the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

If you’d rather finish on a sweet note (yes, please!) instead of starting with something savoury, you can choose from desserts like the Strawberry & Rhubarb Crumble Blondie. However, I still highly recommend the Mini Nutella Doughnuts, which come warm with vanilla ice cream and toasted hazelnuts.

The Ivy Asia

55 Vicar Lane, Leeds LS1 6BA

With its impressive, maximalist interiors and mouthwatering menus of Asian-inspired dishes, The Ivy Asia Leeds should be top of your list for a romantic lunch date. I have been numerous times now, and it honestly always feels like a proper “boujee” treat from the second you step onto that glowing green malachite floor. The decor is incredible – it’s easily one of the most Instagrammable spots in the city – and the food looks just as pretty as the interiors.

The best part is that an afternoon here doesn’t have to break the bank. Their Dragon Set Lunch Menu is a fantastic way to experience the high-end vibes for a fraction of the usual price, offering three exquisite courses for just £21.95 per person. It is available Monday to Friday from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm, making it the perfect excuse for a mid-week escape.

Your meal begins with a vibrant sharing plate of Crispy Wontons and Poppadoms served with a spicy Szechuan dip to get the palate going. From there, you get to select your own starters and mains from a really thoughtful, curated list. You truly can’t go wrong with the Satay Chicken Yakatori starter- the peanut sauce is perfection – and I am absolutely thrilled to see the Char Siu Pork Belly has made it onto the set menu!

Want something on the side? Order a portion of steamed rice and wok-fried greens for just £2.50. If you’re looking for lunch deals in Leeds that will impress for less, this is one not to miss! Honestly, it’s one of my favourite spots for fancy lunch, and this offer makes it so much more accessible. Available Monday to Friday from 11:30am until 4:30pm – book ahead as it’s popular with city centre workers.

Thai Aroy Dee

120-122 Vicar Lane, Leeds LS2 7NL

Thai Aroy Dee is a much-loved family-run restaurant that has been serving authentic Thai cuisine since 2012. A firm favourite with locals, this independent eatery offers delicious dishes at reasonable prices, so it’s well worth a visit if you’re seeking a bargain lunch.

Thai A Roy Dee has an excellent happy hour menu, available daily between 12pm and 5pm – pay just £10.95 for a starter, main course and a side dish of chips or rice. The choices are varied with starters such as Vegetable Spring Rolls, Chicken Satay and Spicy Pork Spare Ribs on offer alongside popular main courses like Thai Green Curry and Pad Thai.

Miller & Carter

56-58 The Headrow, Leeds LS1 8TL

Going out for a steak on a midweek lunchtime may seem a little extravagant, but Miller & Carter’s fixed-price lunch menu makes it more accessible. Served Monday to Friday 12-5pm and for a slightly shorter window of 12-3pm on Saturdays, it enables diners to choose two courses for £20.50. There’s a great selection of dishes for each course, and you don’t have to pay a supplement to order steak unless you want to upgrade from a 7oz. Rump to another cut, such as the 10oz. Ribeye (always my go-to!).

Not in the mood for steak? Opt for the Pork Tomahawk, Ultimate Half Rack of Barbecue Ribs, Chicken Milanese or perhaps the Sunshine Plant Burger. There is something to suit most tastes and dietary requirements!

If you want more of their legendary sides, they’re on 3 for £12. The Onion Loaf is a must!

The Swine Bistro

77A Otley Road, Headingley, Leeds LS6 3PS

Okay, so this one isn’t right in the city centre, so you will need to venture out to Headingley to find it, but if you’re looking for high-end, award-winning cooking without the formal evening price tag, the new lunch launch at The Swine Bistro is one you absolutely need to have on your radar. They have just introduced a three-course lunchtime offering for £30 that brings their seasonal style to a much more accessible daytime slot.

What I love about this new menu is the massive focus on sustainability, spearheaded by their sous chef, Angus Evans. Drawing on his experience from the legendary Eat Your Greens, Angus has created a kitchen culture where nothing goes to waste, but the food still feels incredibly indulgent and “proper” bistro-quality.

A must-try is the Potato Pancake with Braised Chicken. It is a clever bit of cooking – they actually take leftover Sunday roast potatoes and transform them into a smooth purée for a perfectly crisp pancake. This is topped with shredded chicken simmered in a rich, spiced stock and finished with a clever leek top relish and walnut ketchup.

Here Are Some of The Best Places to Eat in Haworth…

Cobbles and Clay

74 Main Street, Haworth, Keighley BD22 8DP

Cobbles and Clay is among the best places to eat in Haworth with kids. Not only is it a superb cafe, but it’s also a popular pottery painting studio. Originally established in smaller premises in 2006 and now situated at the top of Haworth’s famous Main Street, Jill Ross, an art enthusiast passionate about good food, independently owns this lovely eatery. Housed in a double cottage that can seat up to 100 guests at a time, it offers an extensive menu of fresh, contemporary dishes, plus some wonderful creative activities.

Cobbles and Clay opens 7 days a week from 8:45 am until 5:00 pm and serves a fantastic array of breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes as well as a brilliant afternoon tea. Morning diners can choose from a varied menu of traditional breakfast favourites like hot breakfast sandwiches, Eggs Benedict and Mushrooms on Toast in addition to more modern offerings like Sweet Potato & Chorizo Hash and American-style pancakes. There’s a great menu for the little ones at lunchtime too, priced very reasonably.

Those dining between 12 pm and 3 pm can choose from a delightful menu of homemade soups, Yorkshire sharing boards, hearty hot dishes and a wide selection of deli sandwiches with delicious fillings like Bombay Bhaji, Salt beef & Sauerkraut, Falafels & Hummus, Sirloin steak with Blue Cheese and many more. Again, there’s a great menu for the little ones at lunchtime, so kids can fill their tummies before painting their very own pottery piece.

The Black Bull

119 Main Street, Haworth, Keighley BD22 8DP

Probably the most photographed of places to eat in Haworth and certainly the most iconic, The Black Bull sits proudly at the pinnacle of Main Street and boasts a remarkable history. The inn dates back to the 16th century and is recognised by the Brontë Society as part of the Brontë Quarter. Branwell Brontë, the brother of the famous Brontë sisters, frequented the Black Bull and would allegedly attempt to make a swift escape from the kitchen window when concerned relatives were looking for him, when he’d had one too many drinks! The Black Bull has recently changed hands and is welcoming visitors back under its new management team.

If its fascinating history isn’t enough to tempt you inside, its traditional cosy interiors and gorgeous food might. Dine in Branwell’s restaurant, where Branwell himself would entertain tired travellers by the fireplace. The menu of homecooked pub grub features all the classics you’d hope for, with generous portions and a properly welcoming atmosphere.

The Treehouse Bar and Kitchen

Oak Street, Haworth, Keighley BD22 8NW

A more recent addition to the dining scene in Haworth is Treehouse Bar and Kitchen. Offering rustic yet contemporary dining spaces, creative cocktails and an extensive menu of small plates, burgers, pizzas, kebabs, loaded fries and tasty mains, it is definitely one of the best places to eat in Haworth with friends. Switch your Saturday takeaway for a social dining experience at The Treehouse and share small plates of Yorkshire Tacos, Lasagne Bites, Jalapeno Poppers, Crispy Gnocci and much more whilst sampling a few of their delicious cocktails.

Those who prefer to enjoy a dish to themselves will be equally as spoiled for choice with modern internationally-inspired dishes on offer alongside British classics like Fish & Chips, Rump Steak and Yorkshire Pudding Wraps.

The Treehouse also offers a cracking Sunday roast. Their Sunday roast – choose from slow-cooked beef, chicken or nut roast – comes with all the usual trimmings plus lashings of gravy. Check their website for current pricing.

Haworth Old Hall

Sun Street, Haworth, Keighley BD22 8BP

Haworth Old Hall dates back to 1621, making it one of the oldest buildings in Haworth. This characterful pub is steeped in history and a must-visit destination when exploring the historic village. Relax and soak up the Tudor charm with a local ale or take the weight off your feet in their cosy dining room and enjoy some proper Yorkshire pub grub.

The menu features comforting pub classics alongside a few more contemporary offerings, and there’s a lunchtime deal available Monday to Friday. Check the Haworth Old Hall website for the current menu and pricing before visiting.

This is a dog-friendly pub, so perfect for a post-walk pitstop. There’s also a great beer garden at Haworth Old Hall – certainly somewhere to consider for an al fresco lunch during the warmer months.

The Hawthorn

103-109 Main Street, Haworth, Keighley BD22 8DP

Situated in the heart of Haworth, The Hawthorn is a friendly gastropub housed in a charming Georgian building. This delightful pub has been beautifully renovated to showcase a fascinating collection of clocks made by John Barraclough, a former resident of the village and Clockmaker to the Brontes. Set over two floors, The Hawthorn boasts gorgeous interiors which pay homage to the history of this popular tourist spot. Cosy up beside a roaring log fire in their downstairs dining area, which features beautiful Georgian wood panelling, or head upstairs where more elegant decor awaits and watch the comings and goings on the cobbled Main Street from original Georgian windows.

This is by far one of the most popular places to eat in Haworth, not just due to its homely and welcoming interiors but also due to its excellent food menus. Avid carnivores will delight in their superb selection of meats, which are all cooked on their custom-made Josper Charcoal Grill. The Sunday roast at The Hawthorn has gained a national reputation – it has been named one of the best in the country by Rate Good Roasts, and it’s easy to see why when everything from the meat to the vegetables is sourced directly from Yorkshire farms and prepared with such obvious care.

Pavé

98B Main Street, Haworth, Keighley BD22 8DP

Another fabulous eatery located at the top of the iconic Main Street is Pavé Charcuterie and Bistro. Independently owned and managed by local residents, Pavé is a must-visit for cheese lovers! It’s primarily a shop and deli which provides the local community and visitors to the village with fine meats and cheeses from across the continent and from local suppliers and producers. It’s a superb place to pick up those all-important weekend treats, but Pavé is also a thriving bistro offering brilliant breakfasts, charcuterie sharing boards, generously filled baguettes and a plethora of hearty European-inspired casseroles.

Their charcuterie and cheese boards are incredibly popular, and with Pavé being a deli, you’re guaranteed to be eating some truly superb meats and cheeses when ordering one. Diners can create their own board by choosing their desired components from a rather extensive menu of meats and cheeses, and each comes with a baguette and a selection of accompaniments. Pair with one of their fine wines or craft ales, and you’re in for the most delicious of evenings!

The Old Registry

2-6 Main Street, Haworth, Keighley BD22 8DA

The Old Registry is probably best known for its accommodation. With eight individually themed rooms, most of which have luxury four-posters, it’s one of the best places to stay in the area and is on our list of unusual places to stay in Yorkshire. However, as wonderful as it is to stay at The Old Registry, it’s also a brilliant place to eat in Haworth. The Old Registry restaurant boasts character in abundance, and it’s the perfect setting for a romantic candlelit dinner for two. Open Tuesday to Saturday only, with last arrivals at 8:30 pm, it’s one we recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.

The imaginative menus at The Old Registry are based around the finest local produce, and the creative kitchen team does a superb job of satisfying diners with sumptuous starters, mouthwatering mains and indulgent desserts. The menu changes regularly – check their website for the current offering.

Haworth Old Post Office

121 Main Street, Haworth, Keighley BD22 8DP

Right next door to the Black Bull at the top of Main Street, the Haworth Old Post Office is one of the most exciting additions to the village’s food scene in recent years, and one you absolutely shouldn’t miss. The building itself carries a remarkable literary history: this was the post office where the Brontë sisters secretly mailed their manuscripts to publishers in London in the late 1840s, submitting their work under their now-famous pseudonyms.

Lovingly restored by the team behind The Hawthorn, this all-day café-bar serves brunch, lunch and evenings with a menu built around seasonal British and European produce. Expect beautifully crafted open sandwiches on toasted sourdough with garlic butter, luxurious burgers and a rotating selection of seasonal small plates that change with what’s best from local farms and suppliers. The cocktails and seasonal coffee drinks are worth making room for, too.

It has quickly become one of the most popular places to eat in Haworth – rated number one in the village on TripAdvisor and praised consistently for both the quality of the food and the warmth of the service. Booking is recommended, particularly at weekends.

Villette Coffee House

Opposite Cobbles and Clay, Main Street, Haworth

Named after Charlotte Brontë’s final published novel, Villette Coffee House is exactly the kind of place Haworth does so well – a genuinely independent, characterful café that feels completely at home on the cobbles. Situated opposite Cobbles and Clay near the top of Main Street, it’s a natural stopping point whether you’re arriving in the village for the first time or settling in after a walk on the moors.

The menu includes full English breakfasts, sandwiches and light bites alongside an impressive selection of homemade cakes and bakes, all served with well-made coffee and a warm Yorkshire welcome. It’s a brilliant option for an affordable, unfussy breakfast or mid-morning break – and the Brontë-inspired name gives it an added thematic charm that fits the village to a tee.

Looking for afternoon tea in the Yorkshire Dales?

In the mid-Victorian era, Anna, the Seventh Duchess of Bedford, introduced her own devised dining concept to her aristocratic peers. During the 19th Century, the upper classes tended to eat their evening meal at 8 pm or later, and the Duchess would often find herself feeling hungry long before. She began requesting trays of bread & butter and cakes to be served with tea and sent to her room at around 4 pm. Anna would regularly invite friends and acquaintances to join her for tea, and what began as a personal preference ended up being one of the most popular ways to socialise among the Victorian upper classes.

The dining concept was soon adopted by high-end hotels, and the elite of British society would venture out to enjoy tiered silver platters of delicate finger sandwiches and petit fours. Although not something we enjoy on a daily basis, afternoon tea is still very much part of British life. No longer accessible only to the elite and the wealthy, it’s widely available and regularly enjoyed as a treat or for special celebrations.

This luxurious and quintessentially British dining concept is best enjoyed in beautiful surroundings, and few places in the UK are as picturesque as the Yorkshire Dales. This part of God’s Own Country is home to numerous country hotels, gastropubs and quaint cafes offering splendid afternoon teas, and they vary drastically in both price and composition.

If you’re visiting the Yorkshire Dales and fancy an afternoon of refined indulgence, we’ve saved you the job of trawling through search results and numerous websites to find your perfect venue. Here, updated for 2026, are some of the best places to enjoy afternoon tea in the Yorkshire Dales…

Whether you’re planning a birthday celebration, a long overdue catch-up with the besties or simply a fun daytime alternative to a night out, bottomless brunch in Bradford delivers the lot: great food, unlimited drinks and a lively atmosphere. Here are six of the best spots to book right now…

Where To Get Bottomless Brunch in Bradford…

Peacock Bar

Where: 25 North Parade, Bradford BD1 3JL

When: Times vary, and there are often special offers, so check their socials before booking

Available Wednesday to Sunday, the bottomless brunch at Peacock costs £35 per person and must be booked in advance (call 07863 863163 to reserve). The two-hour slot includes unlimited drinks with a superb range of choices – lager, prosecco, spirits with a choice of mixers and some of the venue’s top-selling cocktails, including Espresso Martini, Porn Star Martini and Mojito.

On the food front, brunchers begin with a starter of Vegetable Samosas, Poppadoms and a Pickle Tray before choosing a main from a menu comprising traditional curries, Naan Pizzas and wraps packed with tasty fillings such as Lamb Kebab and Paneer Tikka. Room for dessert? Book the three-course brunch for £45 and finish your feast with either a chocolate brownie or a cookie pie, both served with whipped cream. There’s more than enough there to soak up all that booze!

Rumshackalack

Where: 9 North Parade, Bradford BD1 3JL

When: Tuesday to Thursday: You can snag a 90-minute slot for £30 pp between 12:00 pm and 7:00 pm.

Tuesday through to Saturday: They offer two-hour slots for £35 pp, running at 12:00 – 2:00 pm, 3:00 – 5:00 pm, and 6:00 – 8:00 pm.

Rumshackalack is an independent rum bar on North Parade offering Caribbean vibes, tasty food, and a superb menu of reasonably priced cocktails. It remains one of the most popular places for a boozy brunch in Bradford city centre and can be enjoyed during the week and at weekends.

At Rumshackalack, you can book a midweek 90-minute bottomless brunch for £30 pp or a two-hour session any day from Tuesday to Saturday for £35 pp. It’s a brilliant menu, and diners are truly spoiled for choice with globally inspired delights. You can tuck into favourites like their signature Chicken Parmesan, a zesty Pork Stir Fry, or a Roasted Jerk Chicken Thigh served with authentic jerk rice. They also have a fantastic burger selection, including a Minted Lamb option and a Broad Bean and Red Pepper vegan burger, all served with their signature hand-cut chips.

The drinks on offer are pretty good too! During your time slot, you can order unlimited cask ale, Magners, Amstel, prosecco, and spirits with mixers. They also have an incredible selection of cocktails to choose from, including the refreshing Summer Sour, a classic Dark and Stormy, and the tropical Bay Breeze. For those with a sweet tooth, the brunch even includes dessert options like Biscoff Cheesecake or Warm Cookie Dough. Excellent value for money!

If you’re planning to head down, just keep in mind that booking isn’t quite as simple as a single click. To secure your spot for that legendary bottomless brunch, you actually need to give them a quick ring first on 01274 973909 to confirm your table and time slot.

Once you’ve spoken to the team, you’ll be asked to head over to their website to pay a £5 table deposit. It’s important to wait until you’ve had the “all clear” on your time slot before paying, as the deposit alone doesn’t guarantee your booking. Once that fiver is paid, your table is officially confirmed, and you’re all set for the weekend!

Symposium Bar & Kitchen

Where: 7 Albion Road, Idle, Bradford BD10 9PY

When: Friday 3:00 – 6:00 pm, Saturday 1:00 – 6:00 pm

Symposium Bar & Kitchen in Idle is an excellent Bradford brunch spot if you’re happy to venture a little out of the city centre. It is a popular weekend-only affair, available on Fridays and Saturdays, and you will definitely need to book in advance with a £10 non-refundable deposit to secure your table. For those who like to get an early start on the weekend, they’ve even introduced a Saturday “Early Bird” slot from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm.

The brunch is now priced at £35 pp for a 90-minute session, which includes a delicious main course along with unlimited prosecco, house wine, bottles of lager, and Aspall’s cider. You can also enjoy a selection of their cocktails, such as Sex on the Beach, Cherry Bakewell, Purple Rain, Amaretto Sour, and Bramble, as well as house spirits with mixers. If you want to go all out, you can upgrade for £5 pp to include Pornstar Martinis, Espresso Martinis, Aperol Spritz, and bottles of fruit cider.

The food menu might appear short and sweet at first glance, but there is plenty of variety since most dishes come with several different options. You can choose any of their burgers, any gyros, or any of their loaded meals. They also offer BBQ or buffalo wings served with fries and homemade slaw. Your table is typically allocated for two hours, so it is a good idea to let them know in advance if you would like to stay longer to keep the drinks flowing.

Tallulah’s

Where: 81 Bingley Road, Saltaire, Shipley BD18 4SB

When: Friday to Sunday 12 – 4 pm

This Art Deco-inspired cocktail bar in the heart of historic Saltaire is a must-visit destination for cocktail lovers. As well as being a drinking hotspot, Tallulah’s is known for serving superb quality daytime dining deals, including a wonderful afternoon tea and, of course, a banging brunch with unlimited drinks! The atmosphere here is perfect for a catch-up with friends or as an indulgent treat after a shopping trip or a salon day in our local independent boutiques.

Bottomless brunch is typically available from Friday through to Sunday, with your slot lasting 1.5 hours from the time of your booking. The cost is £38 per person if you choose a dish from their standard brunch menu, which includes treats like a classic club sandwich with chicken and bacon (or halloumi and avocado for the veggies) and a creamy goat’s cheese melt with red pepper and spinach on grilled ciabatta. Other highlights include the spicy chicken flatbread and their vegan-friendly avocado sourdough topped with cherry tomatoes and sesame seeds.

If you really want to lean into the elegance of the venue, you can choose to pair your bottomless drinks with their luxurious afternoon tea menu for £40 per person instead. This includes tiers of finger sandwiches, savoury bites, and homemade scones. In both cases, your bottomless drinks selection includes house lager, prosecco, selected spirit mixers, and a range of carefully chosen cocktails, ensuring there is something to suit every taste while you soak in those 1920s vibes.

The Burnt Bear

Where: 41-43 Main Street, Haworth BD22 8DA

When: 90-minute slots on Saturdays at 12 pm and 2:30 pm

If you are looking for the most “city-style” bottomless experience right on the historic cobbles of Haworth’s Main Street, The Burnt Bear is where you want to be. This place has a real personality and brings a much-needed bit of modern edge to the village’s traditional landscape. Their “Bottomless Bear Drinks” package is priced at £29.95 and is perfect if you’re more focused on the refreshments, giving you 90 minutes of unlimited house cocktails, rums, gins, and lagers in a setting that feels cosy yet vibrant.

If you want the full food experience to soak up the spirits, their £42.50 bottomless brunch is the one to go for. It includes a beautifully curated charcuterie board that is a far cry from your standard pub snacks – we are talking artisanal cheeses, premium cured meats, and a selection of savoury antipasti ideal for grazing on while you catch up.

It is a fantastic choice for a birthday or a special celebration, especially if you want to feel like you’ve escaped the city for the afternoon. However, because it is one of the most popular spots in the Worth Valley and they take pride in their preparation, they do ask for at least seven days’ notice for all bookings. This isn’t the kind of place you can usually just wander into for a bottomless session on a whim, so make sure you plan to avoid missing out on one of Haworth’s best-kept secrets.

The Food and Drink Gifts We’re Loving This Christmas

The Proper Christmas Cheeseboard – George & Joseph (£40)

Chapel Allerton-based cheesemongers, George & Joseph, have launched a trio of festive cheese boxes that are perfect for gifting to your favourite foodie. Curated by founder Stephen Fleming, they’re available to order both in-store and online.

A personal favourite is The Proper Christmas Cheeseboard. Priced at £40, it includes a whopping 1kg of classic British cheeses, all handmade by award-winning producers. From the crumbly and full-flavoured Quicke’s Mature Cheddar to the creamy and mellow Colton Bassett Stilton (it wouldn’t be Christmas without a blue!), there’s something to suit most cheese preferences. The perfect cheeseboard to round off a proper Yorkshire Christmas feast!

Wellington Meal Kit – Indulge Dining (£50)

We foodies love dining out and sampling the culinary creations of talented professional chefs. At this time of year, however, eating restaurant-quality food in the comfort of our own homes would sometimes be preferable to venturing out on a cold, wet evening.

Earlier this year, I discovered Indulge Dining – a Michelin-star meal kit company that has consistently held a five-star rating since its launch. Chef and founder Andy Bowler boasts an impressive career history, having trained under Michel Roux Jr., spent five years working at both Fera at Claridge’s and Roganic with Simon Rogan, and honed his skills as Sous Chef at Gordon Ramsay’s Petrus.

I opted for one of Indulge Dining’s bestsellers – the Beef Wellington Kit, and it was superb! Every element of the three-course menu is included, along with easy-to-follow instructions on how to heat and present each course. It exceeded my taste expectations too: undoubtedly the most delicious beef wellington I’ve tried thus far. If you know a foodie who loves fine dining, I highly recommend gifting a meal kit from Indulge Dining. Veggies need not miss out either, as there are meat-free versions of the kits available too.

Hard Honey: Pure Honey – Honey Thief (£34)

I do enjoy a tipple or two at Christmas and, because I also enjoy a tipple or two on numerous other occasions throughout the year, I like to try something new over the festive season. My Christmas drinks cabinet this year will most certainly feature a bottle from Honey Thief – the UK’s first hard honey liqueur brand, which was established right here in Yorkshire.

Made from 100% sustainable European honey, the naturally fermented honey liqueur is available in four flavours – Pure Honey, Elderflower Nectar, Sour Cherry and Blueberry & Blackcurrant. Treat someone to a 70cl bottle of the 15% ABV liqueur (perfect as a cocktail base or simply over ice for sipping) or a couple of Honey Thief’s sparkling ready-to-drink cans. A unique and thoughtful gift from Yorkshire for cocktail lovers!

Coffee Tequila Blanco – Hacien (£39.95)

Liqueurs aren’t to everyone’s taste, so here’s another of my favourite 2025 tipple discoveries. Leeds-based HACIEN has produced the perfect tequila for those festive nightcaps and celebratory cocktails. Made with 100% blue agave, Coffee Tequila Blanco delivers a rich, smooth taste of roasted coffee and dark chocolate.

This premium spirit is available on Amazon and usually costs £54.95 per bottle, but it is currently on a limited-time deal for just £29.70. This won’t be available at such a great price for long, so get it while you can!

2 Piece BBQ Kit – Whiteley (£47)

Established in 1760, Whiteley is considered the oldest scissor smiths in the western world. The Sheffield-based company produces a wide range of handmade scissors for crafting, cooking, and outdoor use, but they also offer some excellent gift sets that would make wonderful, high-quality Christmas gifts.

From sewing kits to outdoor survival kits, their gift sets can all be personalised with laser engraving to make them that little more special for your intended recipient. Perhaps treat someone who loves firing up the barbecue during the warmer months to this handy 2-piece BBQ kit, featuring two essential tools –  ultra-sharp kitchen scissors with a micro-serrated edge and a stainless steel BBQ turner for flipping and cleaning.

Coffee Tasting Pack – Common Coffee (£46)

Another one of my discoveries of 2025 is a speciality coffee roaster, Common. These guys are based near Edinburgh and work with high-quality seasonal beans to create a range of beautiful coffees to suit different tastes and brewing styles.

Can’t choose between their four signature roasts? Opt for the 250g Coffee Tasting Pack and give someone the gift of not one, but four great tasting coffees this Christmas. In the pack, they’ll receive the Strong, Sweet, Bright and Complex roasts. With tasting notes of apple crumble, treacle and apricot, the Sweet roast from Common Coffee is a personal favourite – the ideal roast to end Christmas dinner with!

Luxury Macaron Christmas Gift Box – Patisserie Valerie (Currently £26.95 – WAS £31.95)

Best known for its handmade cakes and patisseries, Patisserie Valerie has been delighting customers with its delicious sweet treats for more than a century. Their afternoon teas are always a winner when it comes to gifting, but did you know you can also order some of their exquisite bakes online?

From entire celebration cakes to giftable boxes of brownies and other small bakes, Patisserie Valerie offers nationwide delivery. Order a freshly made treat for next-day delivery or book a slot up to 90 days in advance! They’ve pulled out all the stops for Christmas 2025 and launched a spectacular range of showstopping cakes and treat boxes. Afternoon tea fans will no doubt enjoy tucking into a box of their luxury macarons over the festive season. The Luxury Macaron Christmas Gift Box features three indulgent flavours – Bailey’s, Champagne and Espresso Martini. Yes, please!

Festive Fudge Selection – Fudge Kitchen (£12.50)

If you’re looking for something sugary and indulgent to gift to a sweet-toothed loved one this Christmas, be sure to check out the fantastic Fudge Kitchen. The employee-owned company has been creating delicious confectionery for 40 years and now boasts six high street shops in cathedral and university cities across the UK, including York.

Their handcrafted fudge is available in a range of classic and contemporary flavours and makes a delightful gift. Fudge Kitchen has released a variety of beautifully packaged gifts for Christmas that can be ordered online, including the Fudge Selection Box featuring mouthwatering flavours such as Speculoos, Stem Ginger and Hazelnut Praline. I’m putting a box in my son’s stocking this year, and I’m certain he’ll love it!

Seasonal Treats Box – Prestige Hampers (£34.99 – WAS £43.99)

Halifax-based Prestige Hampers has some cracking deals on hampers right now, and they’re available for delivery, right up until Christmas Eve. There are loads to choose from, with thoughtfully curated hampers available to suit most budgets and preferences.

Whether you want to elevate someone’s Christmas with a hamper of cheese and wine or wish to gift a family a big basket of seasonal treats, you’re bound to find the ideal selection of goodies on their website, and many are currently available with generous discounts. I’ve had a couple of hampers from this Yorkshire company and have always been impressed with the contents and the quality of the hamper baskets and boxes. Many of this year’s offerings are currently available at reduced prices, including this lovely Seasonal Treats Box. Perfect for gifting to a young family, it’s packed with both sweet and savoury treats.

Christmas Time Hamper – 123 Hampers (£125 – WAS £170)

Need something a little larger? 123 Hampers has a great range of gorgeous gift hampers on offer at the moment. Prices start from as little as £29 for a Christmas Eve Box that little ones will adore, right up to £1,200 for the Majestic Grandeur Hamper – a huge basket filled to the brim with luxury goodies.

The best value hampers, in my opinion, are the mid-size ones that contain all the traditional festive treats such as Christmas puddings, luxury chocolates, crackers for cheese, bottles of wine and a couple of exciting additions for the kids, such as Gingerbread Kits and Shortbread Stars. There are some superb savings to be had on these if you get in quick. For example, the Christmas Time hamper, which usually costs £170, can now be ordered for just £125!

The Forager’s Table by Tom and Laurissa Heywood – Amazon (£20.24)

Foragers and home cooks alike will love The Forager’s Table by Tom and Laurissa Heywood of Pignut & The Hare. The book features 80 seasonal recipes inspired entirely by the landscape of the Helmsley Hills, from braised, jellied, and pickled apples to wild mushrooms and herbs. Each recipe encourages readers to notice, gather, and celebrate what grows around them.

Rooted in North Yorkshire flavours but designed for kitchens across the UK, the book offers clear guidance on sourcing and working with wild ingredients. Tom and Laurissa’s restaurant, Pignut & The Hare, has already earned three AA Rosettes, a Michelin Guide listing, and the Craft Guild of Chefs Sustainable Restaurant Award 2025, reflecting their passion for local, seasonal produce.

The Forager’s Table is the perfect gift for anyone who loves cooking with the seasons and connecting food to its place of origin.

Cosmic Cocktails by The Alchemist – Amazon (£14.55)

As one of my favourite spots for a cocktail in Leeds, The Alchemist never fails to impress, and now their creativity has been captured in Cosmic Cocktails. Following the success of their first book, Master the Dark Arts of Mixology, this new guide features 100 original recipes inspired by the 12 signs of the zodiac, with bespoke drinks reflecting each star sign’s personality, ruling planets, and elemental flair.

Highlights include the flirty French Kiss for Taurus, blending vodka, pineapple, berries, and a cloud of meringue foam; the adventurous Ginger Kick for Aries with lime leaf–infused gin, lime, ginger beer, and ginger foam; and the playful Piña Co Lava Lamp for Sagittarius, combining rum, coconut, pineapple caviar, and a touch of dry-ice magic. Non-alcoholic options are available for every sign, alongside plenty of Alchemist classics.

This book is perfect for novice mixers, weekend drink-shakers, or anyone looking to elevate their hosting game.

Penguin Selection Box – McVitie’s (RRP £3.00) McVitie’s

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a selection box, and although they’ll never be as good again as they were in the 90s, there are still some great ones available from the UK’s most loved confectionery brands. This year, I’m highlighting one from McVitie’s because it’s brand new for 2025 and quite unlike most of the others.

The Penguin Selection Box is available at most major supermarkets with a recommended retail price of £3. A great little stocking filler or secret Santa gift for any age, it includes a variety of Penguin biscuit products. Whether gifting for little hands to unwrap or as a small treat for an adult, the selection box of biscuits we all wanted to find in our packed lunches should certainly raise a smile.

The brand focuses on delivering a smooth, high-quality spirit perfect for sipping or elevating cocktails beyond the traditional Margarita.

Offering a vibrant alternative to the usual festive spirits, this brand is the perfect choice for the drinks aficionado looking to introduce something exciting and unexpected to the Christmas Day lineup.

You can’t beat the original. Its exceptional purity makes it the perfect utility spirit for Christmas, guaranteeing that every mixed drink, from a simple tonic to a complex festive punch, is clean and crisp.

3. Filey Bay Single Malt Whisky

As one of the pioneering names in the emerging English whisky scene, Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, based at Filey Bay, adds an element of prestige and local history to your Christmas bar. Their single malt whiskies offer a depth of flavour that reflects their coastal location, often featuring notes of spice, vanilla, and a subtle salinity. Perfect for slow, contemplative sipping on a cold Christmas evening, or for upgrading a classic hot toddy, Filey Bay provides the traditional warmth and complexity that is essential for the festive season. Bringing this bottle to the table is a clear statement that you appreciate both local craft and exceptional quality.

Our Pick: Filey Bay Flagship Single Malt

This is the bottle that started it all. It’s an easy-drinking, accessible malt that is still rich and warming enough for the colder months, making it ideal for sharing with guests who might be new to English whisky.

4. Cooper King Dry Gin

Based near York, Cooper King has quickly built a reputation for its commitment to sustainability and flavour innovation. Their Dry Gin is meticulously crafted and often features botanicals inspired by the surrounding Yorkshire terroir, resulting in a crisp, balanced spirit that stands up beautifully in a G&T or a complex festive cocktail. Cooper King’s focus on environmentally conscious production means that when you gift or serve this gin, you are not only offering an excellent spirit but also supporting a company dedicated to leaving a positive impact, making it a thoughtful choice for Christmas entertaining.

Our Pick: Cooper King Dry Gin

The original Dry Gin remains the benchmark. Its classic, well-rounded flavour profile makes it versatile for a Christmas Day Negroni or a refreshing festive G&T topped with cranberry.

5. Two Lasses Rum

Rounding out the collection is Two Lasses Rum, which brings the unexpected tropical warmth of rum right to the heart of Yorkshire. This brand excels at creating nuanced, often spiced or flavoured, rums that are perfect for winter mixing. Rum is a non-negotiable for Christmas cocktails—think warming Spiced Rum punches, Rum Sours, or simply sipping over ice. Two Lasses offers a locally crafted alternative to major imports, providing a unique narrative that appeals to those who seek out authentic, locally produced spirits with a distinct, often female-led, entrepreneurial spirit.

Our Pick: Two Lasses Spiced Rum

For Christmas, nothing beats a quality spiced rum. This is perfect for pouring over ice, mixing with ginger ale, or using as the base for a warming winter punch.
