Ideas please

I want to organise a 'high tea' for my friend & I either Easter Sun or Mon rather than lunch. Anyone any idea where we might get somert half decent in good surroundings wi out going to Holmfirth Castleton or Harrogate.

Want tables that are waited wi proper cloths,china & a cake stand for preference not canteen style.

Menu to include crustless delicate triangle sandwiches an assortment of cakes or scones wi clotted cream & jam.
Proper pot of tea wi milk or lemon and extra water a must

 

High tea?

Tha's more chance of seeing Hign Noon on Eldon Street.

 

Bread and Dripping in the Thornely Arms

Sometimes you get pork pie, brown sauce and pork crackling too.

With your sylph like figure you will be able to have an all you can eat session without the slightest impact on your waistline.

 

Aye 46in waist

and 60in hips. Bread & dripping, hot pie & peas weshed darn wi a pint o mild wont hurt that

 

There's a "tea rooms" in the Arcade - next door to Aroma coffee bar. Though not sure it'll be open the days you want.

 

Pollyanna too

or did have cafe. Like you say not likely to be opened.

Have looked round local hotels too but only available to guests.

 

Get some sleep thee

Tha'll be on takeaway deliveries tomorrow night.

 

Bettys in Harrogate,don't know if they will be open on Easter Sunday though

 

Hoylandswaine.....

What's the name of that pub, halfway up the hill on the right, as you head towards Penistone? Last tie i was in there there was a rather convivial atmosphere that smacked of laid back. And most of the people present could have entered the 'Darby & Joan' club set. (Y)

 

RE: Hoylandswaine.....

Lord Nelson or is that Silkstone

 

RE: Hoylandswaine.....

You could be right there mate. I know one of the boozers at Silkstone was the Bonny Bunch O' Roses. A lad by the name of Mark took it over. he used to work behind the bar downstairs in the No.7 in the early 80's and he was a smashing lad. Excellent barman he was. On an occasion i called in to the Bonny Bunch he was behind the bar (maybe late 80's , early 90's?) and we had a great evening in there. ....... Just remembered; the opposite pub from there was the Station Inn..... so it's deffo the Lord Nelson on Hoylandswaine (Y)

My Mum, for her birthday

Did that at Oulton Hall,which is a De Vere hotel just outside Leeds.

She seemed to think it was pretty good.

 

is it a tea or does it involve a roll in the grass afterwards?
