An off-the-cuff unplanned lunch with family at Betton Farm and what a lovely experience. After a nice warm welcome, we were shown straight to a table. There was lots of choice on the menu, from hot drinks to delicious specials. I went for baked potato and a blackcurrant cordial. The food was delicious and it was generously portioned too. Price was very reasonable too. Lovely decor, splendid views over to Staxton and a roaring log fire ... fabulous! Great atmosphere, free parking and pleasant staff.

⸻ Title: Delicious food, friendly service and beautiful surroundings We had a wonderful visit to Betton Farm Tea Rooms. The food was absolutely delicious — the pork burger was juicy, full of flavour and perfectly cooked, while the ciabatta with tuna and red pepper was fresh, tasty and beautifully balanced. Both dishes were nicely presented and clearly made with care. The staff were friendly and attentive, offering great service and making us feel really welcome. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, and the setting is just lovely — surrounded by countryside views and the charm of the farm itself. It’s a peaceful spot that feels a world away from the bustle of town. You can really tell that pride is taken in both the food and the service here. We’ll definitely be returning soon — highly recommended! ⸻

First visit to Betton Farm and what a find.. Beautifully refurbished restaurant/tea room set in the small village. Staff were fantastic , very knowledgeable, very professional and super friendly. Only had a light snack and coffee (cakes made in their bakery are lush) cheese scone light and fluffy packed full of cheese flavour. Sat looking out the window with beautiful countryside views. Definitely be back for a meal as the menu looks delicious... Fabulous courtyard for those sunny days adorned their bakery/shop selling a delicious array of goodies. Great value for money... And !!!!! They have a cracking little animal farm with some super friendly animals... star of the show the friendly pig... A visit to this gem is highly recommended
