Bettys Café Tea Rooms

Gluten-free food

Bettys in York offers a non-gluten-containing afternoon-tea menu, including its bookable Belmont Room experience by reservation. Bettys says dishes use ingredients without gluten but may encounter traces of wheat or gluten through suppliers or its kitchens, so it cannot guarantee their absence. Request the appropriate menu and discuss preparation needs when booking.

It’s open 09:00 to 17:30 from Monday to Wednesday, and 09:00 to 21:00 from Thursday to Friday, and 08:30 to 21:00 on Saturday, and 09:00 to 17:30 on Sunday. Check with the venue for holiday opening times.
