In keeping with the grand and glorious Victorian surroundings of the Tiled Hall Café, it would be most rude not to indulge in a delicious Yorkshire cream tea, or a traditional afternoon tea for two.

Push the boat out and head to Harvey Nichols Fourth Floor Café for champagne tea for two.

Wash it down with a glass of champagne. Ahh the good life!
