Bettys

Making life lovelier since 1919. We're here to answer your queries from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

When Bettys opened its doors for the first time in 1919 it was just as our founder, Frederick Belmont, had visualised – customers were greeted by a tempting array of delicious Yorkshire and Continental confections in the shop, and an elegant Café Tea Room served teas and meals in the traditional English style. More than 100 years later and we welcome more than one million customers a year to Betty

This is Jackie, who's 84-years-young. She likes jigsaws, crosswords, cakes, sandwiches and plenty of sugar in her tea! She made the trip up to Northallerton from her home in the south east to visit her daughter Dina - and after popping in to Bettys for a bite to eat, they shared this lovely picture with us.

Never store your Cheeky Little Rascals in the open like this. They’re likely to make a run for it - and they’re a devil to catch!
