Betton Farm in Scarborough

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) 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.

Fabulous home cooked food, so glad the restaurant has re-opened. Re-vamped dining room is very tasteful, clean and welcoming. The staff are very friendly and well trained. A good variety of traditional British food and all well cooked and presented. We WILL be back.

Warm welcome around midday although we’d just turned up - we were asked if we’d booked and it later became apparent that this venue is very popular and it’d be wise to book to avoid disappointment. Ordered a cheese scone and a toasted tea cake ,tea and coffee. Prompt, friendly professional service. Scone was lovely and just about on the right side of ‘crumbly’. The tea cake excellent - large, well toasted and arrived hot along with three butters ( always a good sign of quality!). Pleasant dining room and the shop was also good - possible to preorder savoury and also sweet pies. Super selection of preserves and also pickles and breads. Well worth a visit. Bonus is the raisin d’etre of this business - to support and help empower folk with some disabilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit where professional service, environment and food quality were all of a very high standard. Thanks. If you found my review helpful, please indicate.

My husband and I and our 2 friends fancied a run out and lunch for our first trip out this year. I had been in the summer with my daughter and thought it was very good so decided we would go here. A warm welcome and a table overlooking the beautiful countryside. We all had something different but all the food arrived together. The meals were lovely and we all enjoyed them. A big pot of tea with hot water and plenty of milk and sugar. Brilliant service. The portions were huge and no one had room for a pudding. Real value for money. We called at the shop for a browse and bought some bread, scones and ginger biscuits. Large car park. Definitely recommend. We cannot wait to come again.

My wife and I had Christmas lunch here today. We had a starter (melon and pork pate) followed by traditional Christmas lunch - turkey and all the trimmings. No room for puddings although sorely tempted. Fantastic quality and value for money. Staff excellent and very friendly.

Called on way home from Filey for coffee and cake. We sat outside as we had a dog with us. I had a slice of chocolate cake my daughter the lemon cake and we both had a coffee latte. The food was lovely. Courteous friendly staff. Will definitely visit again and recommend. Had a quick look in the gift shop and saw plenty of gift ideas.

(Its fathers day)Went for a drive as you do ,been here before so we knew what to expect ,but this was something else went inside and obviously they had lots of bookings but we arranged for them to do a takeaway to our campervan,it didn't disappoint.prawn cocktail and garlic mushrooms to start very nice and tasty, the mushrooms were done in a sauce with cheese on top and they were stunning ,then we had roast beef dinner roast chicken dinner and a roast pork dinner with proper veg and home made yorkshire puddings ,came to our van hot and fresh and the veg portions were very generous plenty for the four of us to share, and the we had puddings ,jam roll poly and custard and apple and Berry crumble ,proper home made and lashings of custard ,definatly recommending to others and definatly coming back ,food as good as this and service is definatly worth the very reasonable price of just short of £20 for 3 courses and tea and coffee ,many thanks to the staff keep up the good work and we will see you soon . Sorry didn't take any photos of the food we enjoyed it so much we forgot

Went with friends for lunch as usual we had an excellent lunch, Me and one of my friends had the steak pie which was delicious with proper home cut chips and delicious extra meat gravy. My other friend had the homemade burger which came in a lovely looked like homemade bread bun with a fresh salad & home cut chips. The staff are always very friendly & helpful and the restaurant is very good with their Corvid measures. Still one of our favourite places to eat in Scarborough

We visited Betton Farm in August 2020, using the Government's Eat Out to Help Out Scheme. We were initially just going to have a coffee and a cake but were tempted by the afternoon tea after seeing this delivered to a nearby table. We were not disappointed. I have to say that this is the best afternoon tea I have ever had. The sandwiches were very fresh and heavily filled and there was a great choice. I expected just to get a couple of small ones as is usually the case with an afternoon tea but there were 4 large sandwiches each! The scones were huge, and so very tasty, again the best scone I have ever tasted. The cakes were also beautiful, fresh and full of flavour but I had to take my chocolate cake away with me as I was so full!! The staff were fantastic too, nothing was too much trouble and they were very chatty, helpful and excellent at their jobs. You must visit this place, it is an absolute gem!! I will definitely be back.

Visited twice in one week as we liked it so much. My order arrived slightly wrong but the food was good and the service top notch. Friendly, smiley, couteous staff. A little gem.

This is our local for coffee and sometimes for lunch. Cannot recommend the food highly enough. Great choice, always fresh and hot. Friendly staff and great value

Fantastic service and food as always. Staff more than helpful and can’t do enough for you. The food is all homemade and beautiful.

A wonderful restaurant, situated on a lovely working farm. We had the full English breakfast that was cooked to perfection. The service was spot on too. Well worth a visit.

As we were staying at a nearby campsite, we called into Betton Farm at the end of the day most days. Betton offers a lovely farmyard, with wandering chicks and lots of other small animals. An open space for my son to play with plenty of activities.

Had a very pleasant afternoon tea at Betton Farm. It was a beautiful warm sunny afternoon and my friend and I were able to sit outside and enjoy lovely country views. We chose two different sandwiches and also had cakes and scones -all very well presented and tasty. Service was quick and efficient and the staff were all pleasant and polite. After our meal we had a quick browse at the shops - lots of things to offer at Betton Farm. Would recommend.

Betton Farm restaurant provides a variety of succulent dishes at attractive prices ranging from fish and chips,jacket potatoes ,salads and meat pies to sandwiches.They also do a Sunday carvery and a very good afternoon tea which consists of a sandwich of your choice on a bread of your choosing, salad garnish, scone,jam and clotted cream ,a choice of slice of home made cake and a pot of tea very reasonably priced at £8.95.The food is attractively served by lovely staff and is delicious to eat.I heartily reccomend it.

Food definitely only average, bland and and not very imaginative choices available. Overpriced for what we got. Service was friendly and efficient however. Don’t think I’d visit again.

We called with our two granddaughters for lunch on Friday. The food was fabulous. Homemade chicken nuggets for the girls we great and the hot turkey bap was excellent. The service is always with a smile. Thank you. We would recommend to all ages.

Called in with our little one and some friends for lunch. It wasn’t too busy and we ordered our toddlers meal first thing before we ordered ours. Thank goodness we did- took nearly 30 minutes for sandwiches and fries!The baby changing facilities are poor. The toilet needed cleaning and they could do with a shelf or a couple of hooks somewhere to assist with bags etc. Staff were friendly enough and my tuna sandwich was fine - but considering the time it took it should have been better!!Will go somewhere else next time.

Popped in here in the late afternoon with our toddler and enjoyed the animals, however there are numerous large nettles in the grassy play area. We had to keep moving our little one away from them, they need to remove these. The numerous toys are a bit dated and could do with replacing. We went to the cafe about 3.50pm for a cuppa but it was closed!!

A friend and I visited with our teenage daughter (nearly 14 years old) for breakfast. We wanted to sit outside with a view, where we have always sat over the past few years (including with the same teenager). But for the first time we were told we couldn’t sit there as we had a child with us (for health & safety reasons), there was an outside step and they didn’t know how well behaved our child (teenager) was. She just wanted to enjoy breakfast with us. I asked what age children the child policy covers? The lady didn’t know and just shrugged her shoulders. This seems to be a nonsense, not clear and very subjective policy. Any reasonable person could see how well behaved our teenager was. Our teenager was very embarrassed about the situation and the way she was spoken about. We sat in a different area. The breakfast menu is virtually non existent - scrambled eggs or a variant of this and no options for vegetarians/vegans. Very poor menu choice. The food we had was of good quality (apart from a very burnt and inedible sausage)but the prior service and very poor menu choice mean that we won’t be visiting again! Such a shame.

Had a enjoyable meal service was good but the farm was disgraceful dirty pens needed a good clear out and fresh straw the guinea pigs pen was also in a bad state feeding dishes was filthy the goat field was also poor not used to it's full potential

The food and service was good, that was until my wife saw a member of staff open a sachetof sauce for a customer with his teeth. Not good practice good job we were not inspecting the cafe

Having passed here hundreds of times we popped in for morning coffee. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the place. Staff very friendly and coffee good. Also sampled a freshly baked scone which was perfect!

Betton Farm has lovely staff and very good food! Such pretty surroundings and views too, would definitely recommend 🙂

Having lunch with mum is always a rare treat, so we opened for Betton Farm, just outside Scarborough, one miserable Thursday at 12noon.

Went for a coffee but the menu was so tempting we decided to have lunch, I had steak pie and my husband had fish and chips, the chips were the beefiest I have ever seen and the meat in the pie was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going again.

We went last Sunday for morning coffee and ended up ordering scones with jam and butter, freshly out of the oven, they were lovely. We vowed we must come for lunch or Sunday lunch. Currently they are advertising their Chrlunxh which also looks to be good value and plead choice, can't wait!

We came to Betton Farm as part of a rally staying in their camping area. We booked a Sunday roast lunch and were not disappointed. Well cooked and nicely presented meals in a comfortable, family friendly environment that also managed to pull off being elegant enough to host a business dinner if desired. Portions were generous but not over the top, leaving room for dessert. We each ordered a different dessert and I can honestly say that you do not want to miss out on their fantastic desserts. The coffee was also excellent, as was the tea, enough so that my husband and I nipped out a couple of days later and treated ourselves to a tea and coffee while our teenagers slept in. A few days later, we joined members of our rally group for a group breakfast, and again, the food was perfection. The staff were friendly too, not only while serving, but greeting us as they set up the marquee and outdoor seating as we went by. Lovely play area nearby for those with younger children as well as a farm shop with some very excellent (and inexpensive) fresh made ice creams.

Visited here for the second time and had exactly the same experience. The food is nice enough, the staff are friendly, but the service is so slow that for the second time we finished out meal, waited for the waiter to come and clear away so that we could order coffee, and after waiting 15 minutes we decided to leave. There were only 3 other tables in use at this time.

Visited here today for Sunday lunch and had a fantastic time. The food was excellent and reasonably priced and the outside courtyard eating area was brilliant.

Took my mum for lunch today.. (Sunday ) was amazed at how much the cafe has changed. Really modern and a lovely ambiance. Really good menu and so nice to have the choice of other food rather than just Sunday lunch (they did look lovely however ) very fairly priced and the coffee cake was lush. My mum was so impressed she booked a table for next week. Lovely staff especially the blonde lady. I would advise booking tho as almost every table was reserved. Definitely will make this my local jaunt

We took our son and his family for lunch. Bright ,warm dining room with family friendly staff. My grandson was provide with a high chair and was soon tucking into fish fingers these were more like fish fillets, big and covered with cruchy batter served with chips and peas. My grand daughter chose the children's breakfast,bacon,sausage,egg,

Went in a group of 12, various meals & drinks, everyone enjoyed food, good atmosphere, super service, very reasonable prices. We will definitely be returning.

We booked with friends for a Christmas meet up and lunch. We were greeted and shown to our table by a roaring fire,very welcome. The table was beautifully decorated with crackers and candles. Our order for drinks was taken and efficiently brought to table. Then came our lunch ,thick slices of juicy turkey breast,pigs in blankets ,the customary Yorkshire pudding and a ball of excellent tasty stuffing. Vegetables on platters roast and buttered new potatoes,sprouts,brocolli and carrots and a jug of gravy. Excellent perfectly cooked and presented. We unfortunately had little room for sweets and went straight to coffee served with hot mince pies. A great lunch in good company a great start to Christmas festivities.

We are regular visitors to Betton Farm restaurant and the food is as always excellent served by friendly staff. The food is always fresh using local suppliers and in Winter the log burning stove makes it cosy. In summer the outside terrace is a good place to sit and enjoy a meal or a drink.

We have been her quite a lot and always enjoyed our meal, order of 2 lasagne and 2 chips and the chips didn't come, we asked the waitress if the chips were on the way, she went off and a few minutes later brought 1 portion of chips, told her there was supposed to be 2, she then became very rude and said we will have to wait, well the chips came when we had just about finished our food! They didn't get eaten, the chips were so greasy and so was the lasagne along with been tasteless! Well it's for sure we won't be visiting here again...disappointment all round!

Betton farm is on the approach to East Ayton from Scarborough. The tea room situated in a small complex of family centred activities and small businesses on top of the hill with great south facing views accoss the valley. The staff are excellent, friendly and very helpful and the food is traditional, consistently good, well priced and good potions. To get to the tea room you walk through a seated outdoor area, enter via the conservetory into a large converted barn that looks out over a seated garden and the valley. Access is quite good but if using the disabled parking spaces it is tricky to access the path due to an awkward gradient that joins the path and car park. Its a good place to visit anytime of the year.

The food was very good freshly prepared. The service very friendly ,with a smile and good makes you want to visit the place more often. Very clean and lovely scenery from the restaurant.Families can take their children there as there is also a little animal farm for the children to play and visit. Can make a good day out.

My dear father-in-law passed away recently after a short illness. Geoff and his wife Jean used to enjoy dropping in here for coffee.

I have just spent two nights in a tent on my motorbike and found the facilities very clean and the people that run it very friendly and helpful

Me and my partner visited here today, (Sunday 11th sept) around 2pm we had x2 pork burgers which may I add were gorgeous. We were served by different members of staff throughout who were always friendly and happy to help. The younger smaller gentleman with blonde hair especially made us feel very welcome, I wasn't sure of his name but his customer service skills are excellent, very friendly and helpful gentleman. Will deffinate let be visiting again and I had a lovely day. :) Thankyou!

Had a lovely lunch here- excellent food, great staff. Unfortunately it started raining before we could look around the animals etc, so planning to return next week for the cakes which looked amazing but we had no room for today!

We have brought our 3 year old here a few times. The milkshakes are amazing. I get the mixed children's plate that gives my daughter a nice variety. Not over priced. I got a pork and apple burger. It was delicious. Good presentation too. I do love it when we decide to eat here when visiting the park.

There is a fenced play area for the children with toilets and a box on the gate for donations. You can see little piglets and baby lambs. there are also some rabbits in the area. On leaving there, the cafe is just round the corner where you can sit out in summer and the children can play on the grass or there is seating indoors. The food has always been lovely as is the latte. There is also a honey bee farm there and a little shop where you can buy gifts.

Called in just before they opened at 10 am so waited the 5 minutes or so to go in.

Everything for the party was excellent - the staff had decorated the conservatory with birthday balloons and banners - all the buffet food - hot and cold was excellent and the birthday cakes (Grandma's 80th & Grandson's 21st) were super, All the staff were so helpful - couldn't do enough for us to make the event unforgettable. There was a lot of food left - but the staff supplied boxes and trays for us to take home with us

Nothing special but warm, friendly and food OK. Guess good for a visit in a warm day with kids as there were plenty of play equipment
