Live pianist performing during evening service at Bettys, enhancing the refined dining atmosphere with soft classical music.

Bettys in the evening is a quietly luxurious affair. Think: live piano, polished silver, and traditional dishes made with care. We dined at their Harrogate location and rediscovered why this beloved Yorkshire institution remains such a draw, for visitors and connoisseurs alike.

Close-up of the Born Slippy burger at Fat Hippo Leeds, featuring double patties, melted American cheese, braised pork rib meat, jalapeños, garlic butter mayo, and a toasted brioche bun, served with a side of seasoned fries in a blue enamel bowl.

After a disappointing first visit, we returned to Fat Hippo Leeds, and it was a total game-changer. From perfectly seasoned fries to one of the best chicken starters we’ve had in ages, this midweek meal proved how powerful it is when a restaurant truly listens, learns, and levels up.

From humble beginnings in Halifax to the grand grounds of Buckingham Palace, a proud and poignant milestone to be honoured for contributions to UK education and social mobility. A once-in-a-lifetime Royal Garden Party and a reflection on the power of purpose, giving back, and the unforgettable afternoon tea served in true royal style.
