Beckside Gifts and Tea Room in Ryedale

Called here for coffee and lunch. Waited 5 minutes and were shown to a table. Waitress said she'd bring over the menus. Stood around chatting to her colleagues, Menu never arrived. After 15 minutes we walked out. I don't expect the food to come immediately but I do expect a menu to be delivered within 15 minuts. Goodness knows how long we'd have had to wait for food if we had stayed. Don't even deserve the 1* I've had to give them.

Lovely building situated just near the train station with a large yard to the front and a courtyard indoors. Two little gift shops are situated within, with a fairly normal array of gifts to browse. It's no longer a tea rooms, just a gift shop.

The gift shop no longer has a cafe as we discoverd on a recent visit, however it has a great selection of gifts in a prominent location.

Si no puedes tomar té, pequeño y encantador lugar, gente muy amable que sirve, scones encantador, té, café. Tras ordenar todo lo que luego vimos el menú y estaba lleno de una gran selección de platos a ir dentro y fuera de sí para comer

Llegamos demasiado tarde para el café y el pastel, pero no el tienda de regalos e hizo algunas compras. Había algunos pop-up muy inusual y otros regalos inusuales tarjetas junto con algunos juguetes de moda muy buena vieja y juegos. Fue agradable ver algo diferente y no todas las mismas cosas que se ven por todas partes. Sé que era un lunes, pero la tienda cerrada a las 16.30 que fue una sorpresa - pero, de nuevo, este es Pickering. Ten cuidado en las escaleras, son un poco empinadas. Seguro, pero caro. Esta tienda es sin duda vale la pena el tiempo de visitar.

Stopped off at Pickering to visit the market on a Monday. we had a walk around the shops and was in need of a drink before we departed. I had a cup of coffer, the wife had early grey tea. Caramel shortcake was very nice.

This quaint tearoom is incorporated with the beckside gift shop Lovely choice of food, ideal for lunch, and cakes and tea/coffees Definitely worth a visit

We have sat outside in the summer and had a very pleasant lunch. The food is always freshly prepared and served with a smile. The shop has some different and interesting scarves, bags etc. I would recommend a visit.

Beckside Tea Room--We thought this tea room looked nice from the outside and saw lots of specials on the board, so we went in and this is when the con started. We were a party of four and on the board it said Bacon or sausage sandwich with tea for £3.50 so we duly ordered at the counter--(no service-you have to order at the counter--even though only two other ladies present) i sausage and one bacon with two teas, but asked if i could have earl gray tea (earl gray on menu 15 p more than ordinary tea) but was charged £9.50. I said no, i ordered specials at £3.50 x 2 so price should be £7.00. The very officious women behind counter said we charge more for earl gray, to which i said £2.50 is not 15 p extra as per menu. She then was very aggressive and said specials on the board have special tea, so that is the price and you have to pay extra for earl grey. My friends then said from the table just pay and we will eat sandwiches and leave. Our sandwiches duly arrived and we were appalled--sandwiches were not sandwiches, but very small finger buns with a very small burnt piece of bacon or one cheap sausage cut in half--again a con as not a sandwich. So nobody use this place as it is the worst cafe in north Yorkshire

First impressions very clean, friendly staff, cosy atmosphere. Nice cuppa & latte. Toast could have stayed under grill a little longer but plenty of butter & jam with it. A little more expensive than other places, but pleasant.

Had a lovely coffee and milk shake here and an excellent piece of cherry Bakewell. Staff are really friendly. Prices are the usual for a tea room.

I visited with friends in September 2015. The cafe is tucked in a nice building with a tourist style shop beside it. There is a nice seating area at the front a single table in the foyer and then more seating inside. We ordered a light lunch and drinks which took over 45 minutes to arrive and consisted of low quality food with a tourist price tag. I was disappointed to say the least, albeit the portions were a reasonable size and the coffee was average. The cakes were better but one (black cherry and almond bakewell) was stale. On the whole I can't help but feel that we paid too much and waited too long. I would suggest looking elsewhere.

We called mid morning on our way back from Whitby. We had our dog and you could sit outside which was good. We ordered 2 bacon and egg rolls, a tea and a Cappucino. The food was good, lovely fresh bread and a good yolks egg! The staff were friendly and bought water for my dog.

What tasty food they have here! I had a cheese and bacon potato melt with a side salad and it was LOVELY! The service was very friendly and quick. This is the best tearooms Iv'e ever been to and they do the best deluxe hot chocolate with marshmallows. The Ploughman's lunch looked lovely too and very tasty.

The food is good, service good enough. The location is very central, and on a nice day the outside patio is one of the best places to sit in Pickering.

This friendly little tea room was the perfect place for a drink and one of the best bacon and egg sandwiches I have ever had. The staff are friendly and courteous and the prices are very good.

Friendly establishment, with a simple menu which is OK for a quick afternoon lunch / light bite. Highly recommend the BLT's

having made the trip to Pickering on the north York moors railway, my wife and I decided to have a light lunch, before we had a look around the town of Pickering. after a short walk we came across the tea rooms. the service was excellent, and very swift dispite there being a number of other customers. I had a very tasty ham sandwich, and my wife a cream tea, which she highly recommends.

We turned up right on closing time, gagging for a drink and needing a sit down with 2 boys, one 4 year old and one 9 months. Seeing our disappointment, we were invited in for a hot drink and cold snack. We had 4 delicious cream teas for the grown ups and fizzy water and chocolate cake for the 4 year old. Everything was just right! We were made to feel very welcome and didn't feel at all rushed despite our late arrival and taking our time to savour the food. All in all, highly recommended!

This was a chance visit when we met up with my daughter and her family in Pickering. We needed somewhere to seat six of us and the staff at Beckside were only too happy to move tables around for us. All of the food was gorgeous and the cakes were particularly good. The portions were large and I can hardly believe what some wrote about a bakewell tart. There was no sign of anything like this on our visit. We will definitely be back. Excellent!

Four of us visited this tearoom recently whilst on holiday in Pickering. The tearoom is attached to a gift shop which is worth a look around. The tearoom itself is very small but we went when it was quiet so this did not affect our dining experience. Several of the party ordered a hot chocolate which came with a chocolate finger on the side,I thought this was a lovely touch. The jacket potato with cheese and bacon came with homemade coleslaw and a salad which was all really tasty, and very good value for money! The lady who served us was very friendly and made us feel welcome. I would not hesitate to come back here if visiting pickering again in the future.

I visited the tea room and gift shop on 11.11.2014. The gift shop was nice and quirky. The item I bought was also a good price. The staff in the tea room were very polite and the food was nice. All the group ate (sandwiches and jacket potatoes) for around £5 per person which was good value for a tea room. I would definately recomend this place.

Tucked away near the Station we found this place welcoming and well worth seeking out for tea,coffee or light refreshment.

We called at this lovely cafe for a mid afternoon coffee and snack and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent the staff friendly and efficient and the menu more than sufficient to quell our hunger and thirst. Thoroughly recommended.

A very friendly welcome in this small, but charming café, near the station in Pickering. I had a home-made fruit scone, with jam and cream and a pot of delicious, hot tea. My husband had a lovely ham and mustard sandwich, which he announced to be yummy as well. The staff were friendly, helpful and provided good, prompt service. The prices were good value. We shall certainly return there if we visit Pickering in the future.

We popped in here before getting on the train and had cheese scones, coffee and the kids had cakes. Very friendly welcome and the food was very nice.

The staff are lovely! They really made us feel welcome there. We didnt go in the tearooms as it was close to closing hours when we visited.

Certainly adequate and clean with smart but unobtrusive service and I was happy to leave a tip, slightly pricey, but suited my needs for a snack between trains.

Stopped off for lunch. Had a very nice BLT on ciabatta which came with homemade coleslaw and salad. Very tasty. Hubby had a cream tea which again was very nice. Good friendly service.

Stopped off with the kids for lunch, and while I can't fault the service, the food was just plain average. Price-wise I would have expected to pay a few Pounds less. Overall we were left somewhat underwhelmed.

travelled with my elder sister and we called in on the off chance ,We ordered a cup pa and a scone real;ly enjoyed the food value for money . would highly recommendatory to other .

We went there for lunch. We ended up sitting outside the door.We ordered sandwiches and a bakewell tart, planning to share the tart.After some time, the tea and the bakewell tart arrived. It was very small, clearly out of a packet of six that you can buy in the supermarket. They charged £1.35 for this, probably more than the packet of six cost. The sandwiches arrived much later and were not up to much and again were not cheap.Will not be going back here, suggest you don't either.
