Welcome to Realitea, the tea room and indian bistro with a twist. Located in the historic city of Ripon in North Yorkshire. From lattes and cappuccinos to hot melted chocolate and premium teas, our stimulating (literally) beverages are the ideal way to start the morning, or help make it through the afternoon. Complement your beverage with an indulgent afternoon tea or a variety of baked goods from ourselves or top local suppliers.
We are catering for a wedding on Thursday and Friday this week in an idyllic spot in North Yorkshire.
All the best to the bride and groom on your big day.
Who doesn't love a good show, or two, ... or three?
At Realitea we support these three superb local amateur dramatic groups, two of which have productions starting very soon.
The other is looking for participants for their annual panto Jack & The Beanstalk in January.
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s multi award-winning show - a fun-filled family favourite, brought spectacularly to the Milby stage.
A joyful (mostly true) story of British eccentricity and determination.
'A crazy, absurdly heroic story, comparable to an Ealing Comedy' - Reviews Hub
'Fee-fi-fo-fum' indeed!
RCPG are staging this panto in January 2027 and are now looking for budding cast and crew from 9 years old upwards!

'Fantastic place for afternoon tea with a difference. So nice to have delicious savoury curry dishes to start. The real highlight was the savoury curry cheese scone which was absolutely delicious. Crisp on the outside with a lovely soft fluffy inside with such super flavours. The sweet treats were different too. A super place to go for an afternoon tea with a curry twist. Do book as it’s very popular. Staff are excellent.'
'Amazing place to visit! The Indian food is absolutely delicious and the cakes and scones are to die for. They also have a wise variety of tea to select from and some great coffee! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Totally recommended if you're in the area!'
'We love this gorgeous place! We come here as often as we can, it’s just so special from the food being excellent homemade, to sweetest owner and team. It’s not just coming for lunch, it’s a whole wonderful experience. You walk out with a smile on your face, a satisfied tummy and a warm heart.'
'Amazing tea room with super tasty food and tea. The ladies who work there are very kind and lovely, we felt very welcome with our dog there. We had the Indian afternoon tea and it was one of the best I've ever tried, quite different, very flavourful and just a tiny bit spicy. The cakes were also very unusual. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone and I would love to come here as often as possible.'
