A YEAR OF CELEBRATION
A YEAR OF CELEBRATION In 1919 an orphaned Swiss called Frederick Belmont fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening a café of his own. Now, 100 years on, that little café is celebrating its centenary. We don t know why he named it Bettys, but we do know that he would be very proud to see what his dream has become. Join us this year as we mark this milestone with events, limited edition teas and treats, and a special reimagining of our famous afternoon tea. And don t forget to visit www.bettys.co.uk to explore Frederick s story and to see how his family continue to honour his legacy in the way they steward Bettys today. Welcome to our big birthday.
