Betty's will deliver afternoon tea this Mother's Day weekend as cafes close
Betty's will deliver afternoon tea this Mother's Day weekend for the first time in the company's history as coronavirus forces the cafes to close.
The service will only be available this weekend from 10am on Saturday and Sunday but Betty's may keep it running in the future if it proves to be popular.
Harrogate, Harlow Carr, Ilkley, York, Stonegate, and Northallerton Betty's stores will all be delivering afternoon tea over the phone.
It comes after Betty's was forced to close down all six of its cafes and its cookery school in an effort to limit the spread of coronavirus.
A spokesperson for Betty's said: "This weekend, for the first time in our 100-year history, you can order and collect a takeaway afternoon tea from Bettys!
"With freshly made cakes and sandwiches, and a scone with jam and clotted cream, it’s a perfectly pretty and delightfully delicious take-home treat for mums, couples, and families."
Betty's is one of many cafes and restaurants in the Harrogate district adapting to stay open whilst adhering to government-imposed social distancing guidelines.
