"We have a very unique location here on the edge of the RHS Garden and we hope the changes we have made will enhance our customers experience of both our Café Tea Rooms and the Garden itself.’

Liz Thwaite, Head of Site at RHS Garden Harlow Carr, said: “Bettys has long been an important part of the visitor experience at RHS Harlow Carr, so we're thrilled to see the new-look Café Tea Rooms unveiled ready for the autumn season.

"With the garden looking particularly spectacular at this time of year, visitors can enjoy a fantastic day out, taking in the seasonal colour before relaxing and enjoying all that Bettys has to offer.”

The temporary closure, which has involved the first significant changes at the popular cafe since it first opened at RHS Harlow Carr in 2004, is designed to create an even more welcoming experience for customers.
