Fundraising for the Royal British Legion
Our Poppy Drinks proved to be a huge success this week, fundraising for the Royal British Legion.
Visited Hetty and Betty’s for the first time yesterday as part of View Yorkshire’s photography workshop. Sampled one of their signature Yorkshire afternoon teas. As vegetarians we enjoyed the battered Brie in place of fish, and the scones were a meal in themselves. Another member of the group was gluten free and was well catered for too. Our first visit, but it won’t be our last!
Visited Whitby and had lunch here. Three of us had fish and chips and the fourth had a ham and tomato sandwich. A piece of lemon drizzle cake was our dessert. Service was very good.
What a Great little find a gorgeous Tearoom with delicious food. Friendly staff and a warm cosy feel. We will definitely be calling again and a Bonus its Dog friendly.
