A friend and I went to Bedern Hall during York Christmas markets. It is a beautiful historic building in a tranquil spot 2 minutes from the hustle and bustle. The staff and volunteers were fabulous, showing us the hall and the guild maces and other treasures. The afternoon tea was lovely and plentiful but not over whelming, the mince pie scones with brandy butter were a lovely festive twist.

We received a very warm welcome. The staff serving our afternoon tea were exceptionally courteous and pleasant. The lady who baked prepared our tea was”the jewel in the crown!” We intend to visit with my daughter in law and new grandson on the 27th of June.🤞Thank you!👏

We tried to use our voucher last week but the tea room was full. Another group of 3 were also in the same situation. As it was raining we couldn’t sit outside but could have sat in the hall but the lady who we spoke to wouldn’t allow it. Hence we had to return to Middlesbrough.

Although the hall is only small, it was very interesting. The afternoon tea was delicious and not too big that we couldn't finish it. First time ever this has happened. We were given a lovely glass of prosecco to begin, followed by a choice of scones and also a choice of sandwiches, all of which were delicious. Would highly recommend.

We met 2 very nice ladies who were volunteers and told us all about the hall and it’s history. We then had a lovely afternoon tea with sandwiches, sausage roll lavender scones and cakes that we couldn’t finish so brought them home. We then had a good walk round York as it was very close to the Minster.

Excellent experience at Bedern Hall just over a week ago which whilst being in the centre of York was a little off the main tourist streets but well worth visiting. The very knowledgeable Jill was the guide and explained the history of the hall and the cream tea was wonderful, served by a lovely friendly lady ( unfortunately didnt catch her name) with a choice of 3 different scones and delicious freshly prepared sandwiches and very tempting cakes.
