This Yorkshire cafe has created the ultimate afternoon tea with a twist - and the twist is a delicious serving of fish and chips.
Afternoon Tea is a real treat - there's just something special about nibbling on dainty finger sandwiches, delicate sweet treats and fruity scones all placed on a tiered stand.
But if cucumber and cream cheese sarnies aren't your thing, then a cafe based in Whitby are the answer to your prayers.
They serve up an incredible Fish & Chips Afternoon Tea which you can enjoy whilst taking in breathtaking views of the seaside out of their perfectly placed windows.

Hetty & Betty is the oldest fish and chip cafe in Whitby, so it's fair to say they know exactly what they're doing when it comes to the classic British dish.
Having opened its doors back in 1928 as Mill’s Cafe, they've been serving the good people of Whitby with their beloved dish ever since.
So what does the afternoon tea consist of you may ask? Well, guests will be served two battered fish, two portions of chips, a serving of mushy peas, tartare sauce, a side of bread and to top it all off, two scones with jam and clotted cream.

It's fair to say you won't be going home hungry.
You can get all of this for just £26 per person and if you fancy a tipple with it, you can add prosecco where it totals to just £39 per person.
We can't think of any better way to enjoy the Yorkshire seaside, can you?

A much-loved independent restaurant in Leeds has announced it will be closing its doors.
Kuala Lumpur Cafe opened its doors in Headingley in 2019 by Bart and Hirman, who wanted to bring authentic Malaysian cooking to the city of Leeds.
Throughout the years, they'd built up a reputation for their beautiful curries and vibrant street food dishes, all of which were made using Hirman's family recipes.
So much so, that in 2024 they opened a kitchen inside White Cloth Hall in the city centre when the Grade II listed food hall first opened.
Their kitchen sadly closed a year later, but their Headingley restaurant remained open serving the students and locals with their famous beef rendang, nasi lemak and more.
Sadly, Kuala Lumpur Cafe have taken to social media to announce that they will be closing their doors for good as of this Saturday 17 October.
Their statement reads: "Thank you to all our customers and team that made Kuala Lumpur Cafe possible across the last few years. After a long consideration, we have decided that our last trading day will be Saturday 17 October.
"If you have a booking after this date, we'll be calling you over the next few days to try to move it to an earlier date before we close.
"It's been our pleasure to serve Malaysian food to the community. Best regards, KL Cafe."
Of course, in true Leeds fashion, local businesses and customers flocked to the comments to express their sadness and show their support.
One comment reads: "Such a shame. This was genuinely the best Malay food I had outside of Malaysia. Will be missed greatly", whilst another thanks the cafe for "all the delicious food over the years".
If you want to visit Kuala Lumpur Cafe one last time, then you have until this Saturday to do so. Go and wish them a proper farewell.
