Jervaulx Abbey & Tea Rooms

General information

In 1994 Ian and Carol Burdon, who own Jervaulx Abbey, opened Jervaulx Abbey Tearooms to be a visitors centre to the Abbey. Carol over the years built up a reputation with her Home Made Cakes and Scones, and over the years the Tearooms became its own idientity. Ian and Carol added a 5 van CL caravan site and a Luxury BnB. Both buisness soon took off! With the Tearooms still going strong their youngest daughter Anna, at 21, returned to take over the Tearooms from her mother in 2010.
Anna still continues on with the Home Made Cakes and Scones, over 100 varieties of cake and scones throughout the year. The Menu varies to try and suit as many people as possible. From Homemade Fishcake, Local Beavers Butchers Burgers, Ploughmans to lighter meals like our very popular Yorkshire Rarebit Crumpets, Homemade Cream Teas. Making as much in our kitchen as possible, even down to the beetroot relish, most of which you can buy to take home.
Our Cream Teas and Cakes are the perfect end to a long walk or just to relax in the afternoon.
We offer a gluten free menu, which includes cakes! (we just like to mention our kitchen is NOT gluten free, although everything we make for this menu we do all we can to keep it seperate)
2012 eldest daughter Gayle has returned to Tearooms bringing her buisness, Where The Ribbon Ends, bespoke sugar craft. We have a fabulous display of her work, these homemade cakes can literally be turned into a piece of art! from weddings, birthdays, christenings or anniversary Gayle can make a cake to suit you!
