Another one without scones, I’m afraid.
After Wetherby Services we looped round through Teesside and drove down the coast through Saltburn (report later) to Whitby. It’s a great drive.
We finished by parking outside Mrs Botham’s Tearoom and entered the 1950s. I’ll cut straight to the food and ignore the rest of it if you don’t mind. I love the ambience at Botham’s but I’m writing about it elsewhere so I don’t want to repeat myself. Note that Botham’s retain the apostrophe, where Bettys have dropped theirs.
We selected their freshly made crab sandwiches on multi-seed bread. There’s a clue to quality there – the bread was wonderfully fresh, as was the filling, another contrast with our Bettys experience.
The salad was fresh and beautifully dressed too – I actually enjoyed it rather than just enduring it, which I often do.
Sorry it’s short – have to and pick up Number Two Son from work.

The comments had me laughing. That platter of food looks amazing.
It was truly excellent. I imagine you guessed that from the lack of complaining…
I was lured into this post by your scone teaser but there were no scones. You may well hear from my lawyer.
An understanding of the apostrophe is clearly essential to the production of fresh food.
So it would seem. 🙂
The sandwiches do look good!
They were. 🙂
A pleasant change to have freshly made sandwiches!
They were very good, and delivered to the table more quickly than at Bettys.
🙂
😀😀
Now that sounds like a great tearoom experience!
It was. 🙂
My mouth is watering!!!
It was very good. 🙂
Sure looked that way from the photos.
Almost as good as Maine lobster rolls…
