A very atmospheric place, a little lost in time, which for what it is is absolutely perfect. It's an olde worlde tea shop, where the pace is much slower, the staff aren't in your face and everything is just nicer, including the food which is excellent and well prepared. There is a takeaway bakery here too, which was really busy all the time we were here, which says everything you need to know - if it wasn't good, people wouldn't come! Every self respecting town could do with a Bothams, a generous slice of cake, with a generous slice of nostalgia and well worth a visit.

Bothams is a must when visiting Pickering. Cakes are always fresh and tasty. On our visit we picked up French Fancys and Cornflake Cakes and wow they were so tasty.

We called in at Whitby Bothams just for a cup of tea. We were greeted with a smile and a warm welcome by the lovely staff. We later bought cakes and pies from the shop downstairs, which were excellent as usual. We?ve been visiting the various Botham?s cafe and shop for many years and they are always brilliant and very good value in our opinion.

Great scones, really lovely quaint atmosphere. A great place to sit and have a cup of tea and warm up or pick up treats for later. We got a great selection and the mince pies were exceptional.Their speciality chocolate treat was nice but a bit too sweet for us. A great place and we will definitely come back.

Don?t think about it, just go. It?s a wonderfully warm and welcoming place, the service is great without ever being intrusive and the food was stunning. The cakes are exceptional and they even manage to raise the humble sandwich to something special. Absolutely loved it!

We STRONGLY recommend these delicious cookies by Botham?s. The Pickering Botham?s tea room is lovely, just straight opposite the NYMR.We always supply Botham?s biscuits for our guests as part of their welcome pack to the holiday cottage, and I have to say? any of the ones with a tang of stem ginget are a win for me. Yum! Thanks guys.

This a 'little gem' of a place in Pickering.The staff are polite, helpful and always with a ready smile.A particular thanks to Susie, Mel and the professional bakers who created a beautiful celebration cake for a family member recently. Looked delightful and tasted divine!Thanks to everyone, front house and behind the scenes.An asset to Pickering Town !!

Travelled to Pickering on the NYMR and on coming out of the station Botham's was just about opposite. Purchase their cakes from time to time in our local Booths, so decided to go in. Whilst just about lunch time only a short wait for a table. Service was quick and friendly. Had delicious bacon butties followed by ginger parkin with custard. All first class. Coffee was spot on and so was their own brand tea. Afterwards stocked up on cakes to take home. Next day tried their Baxtergate shop in Whitby, not as good.

Called with my wife for drinks and cake. However when coming to pay with a card the payment machine appeared to gave me four options, three icons for adding a tip of variant amounts and one smaller for no tip. I felt this put me under pressure and spoilt our visit. Consequently I am unlikely to revisit or if I do will pay cash then I can leave a tip, the amount being at my discretion. Tea and cake was okay although the cup and saucers are very much a mismatch.

We had already enjoyed a delicious cup of tea in the Whitby branch so were delighted to enjoy coffee and lunch in Pickering. We were not disappointed and so glad to have discovered Bothams near the railway station in Pickering.
