Truth be told I find Bettys a little overhyped. Lots of queuing, decent ,but overpriced food that is in fairness inline with the ethos of it's historic appeal. If lots of peeps like it and want to be there you're not going to sell cheaply are you? Being 'insiders' of course we stopped in at Addingham on the way back and used the local cafe "Ginger Plum". Nice cafetiere, great service, lovely moist Orange and Almond cake. All done for 14 quid for two. Plus they have works from local artists on the wall for sale. Indeed, the trip was for me to get another look in at a little art gallery in Ilkley that I have bought from before. Nothing to buy today ,but still some nice works if you have the appropriate place for it.
Also a bit of fun winding the wife up regaling her with the tale of the landlord daughter from Addingham, the one that got away ! Yeah, that's right no baking for me for the next month.
