Quality tea room - Edit
I enjoyed the vegan breakfast, and the portion size was generous with plenty of toast. I have never had spiced aubergine "bacon" before. The staff are courteous and friendly. Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu, and this includes alcoholic drinks, which is helpful. There are limited options for vegans, though there is at least one option in every section except the ice creams. The food and drink is excellent quality and very pretty to look at.

Finally vegan options - Edit
Yayy so happy this time. I had an early grey and oat milk and scone with Jam and coconut clotted cream. It's so good to be able to sit with friends and family and enjoy the experience with everyone else.

Prebooked afternoon tea - Edit
I booked an afternoon tea spot the day before, and arrived the day of the tea to find they were prepared for my reservation. The staff were really wonderful. I felt well-taken care of. I recommend advance booking so you can be assured they have vegan items ready for you. Plus, if you pre-book, you get to go in the VIP entrance to the upstairs Belmont Room. My tea came with unlimited sandwiches and beverages. The cucumber sandwiches were especially good, in my opinion, and the scone and jam were really nice. The desserts, particularly the chocolate pillow with caramel, were extremely decadent. I had a great experience and left very full. Would recommend.

Sweet afternoon tea - Edit
Worth it for the experience as it’s lovely and does live music. However, tea was very simple and the cream for scones wasn’t nice.

There is finally a vegan option! - Edit
Traditional café, which I've always avoided because of lack of vegan options, but they finally have a vegan scone. It's quite good, and there is coconut cream to go with it. Alternative milks are oat and soya. Probably not worth the wait for the vegan options.
Read morePros: Vegan scone, "traditional experience"
Cons: Wait for ages to get in

Vegan afternoon tea - Edit
It's nice to be able to take part in the traditional tea rooms at Betty's with a vegan option for afternoon tea. The sandwiches and scone were delicious. The sweets/cake were nice but room for improvement. However, overall it's great that there is a vegan option and the service is great and the staff are very knowledgeable. Oat milk available for teas and coffees which is a big plus.

Lovely traditional tea room - Edit
You wait at the stairs to get seated in the wonderfully decorated tea room. We had scones and a specialty scone, which were all extraordinarily good! They offer a wide selections of very good tea, and the staff are friendly, too

Great selection of vegan options but no cakes! - Edit
Got in early to avoid queuing and it was a very pleasant experience. Vegan options were clearly marked and pretty good value for money. I asked if they did a vegan afternoon tea but unfortunately not, though the waitress seemed very hopeful for the future!
