Even just for a cup of tea (158 variations to choose from) and a slice of their home made treacle tart makes you think that you are sitting adjacent the Kremlin, and not just Skipton Castle! However, there is far more to the Russian Tea Room than just a cup of tea. The Russian Tea Room has a superb new menu, serving traditional Russian dishes presented very elegantly, amicably priced to suit both the connoisseur, and the casual eater. The range of Vodka's, challenge even the meagre to sample the flavours. From 'Chocolate and Raspberry' to "Hot Jalapeño" all served directly from the freezer , but the 'Sticki Honey' one gives you the warming and soothing effect that honey appears to offer whilst you are sipping a drop of the "Russian Water"!

The Culture Room is fast becoming the hub for all things Russian, with a new Language service offering Russian Speaking courses, art and photographic displays and an extensive range of Russian Culture books to read at your leisure.
