Betty's Stonegate

Upmarket tea in historic Stonegate (b,l; ££)

Now owned by the people behind Betty's, this café has the same menu as its big sister.

Unfortunately, it also shares the same prices.

This is a crooked medieval building with a cosy atmosphere above the shop. And you get to wait indoors on the creaking stairs instead of in the street. Open fire in winter. In many ways it's a preferable venue to the main café (once you get a table) because of its historic location in Stonegate. (Try for a window seat if you can).

TIP The downstairs shop has some teas and other items that make excellent small gifts.
