Relax in the tea room

The bothy

Traditionally, a bothy would have provided basic accommodation for estate or farm workers, today it houses the tea room and shop. The tea room is on the first floor, with some tables and seats available on the ground floor for anyone who may struggle with the stairs. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the bothy and tuck into a tasty menu packed with local delights. 

The menu

If you're looking for a tasty and filling lunch, enjoy a range of sandwiches, jacket potatoes and seasonal soups. We've also got some special one pot meals to enjoy, changing with the season, using yummy local ingredients. 

There's also a selection of delicious cakes and traybakes to enjoy, as well as the National Trust classic; scones with jam and clotted cream. Try our signature Riddlesden rascals or tuck into a traditional Victoria sponge cake, washed down with a freshly brewed pot of tea. 

Plants, not plastic...

As a conservation charity, we’re committed to keeping the environment healthy and beautiful. Our disposable cups, plates and cutlery are fully biodegradable and are made from recycled and plant-based materials. We only use paper straws and provide free drinking water as standard. Find out more about what we’re doing to phase out single use plastic.

Support our work

Did you know that we need to sell 30 scones to pay for four hours of intricate repair work to a 400 year-old wall hanging at East Riddlesden Hall?

Every purchase made in the tea room supports our work here, so whilst you’re catching up with friends over a coffee you’re also helping to keep centuries of history alive for generations to come.
