Watergate Licensed Tearooms and Teagarden Watergate licensed tearooms specialise in high quality homemade food and drinks without the use of added colourings or flavourings. We are situated in the picturesque market town of Hebden Bridge on the edge of the Brönte moors and a short drive away from Haworth. Hebden Bridge is also only 5 minutes away from Mytholmroyd, the birth place of the poet laureate Ted Hughes and 5 minutes away from the hill top village of Heptonstall, the burial place of his American author and poet wife Sylvia Plath. Every day we have a range of hot foods, including fresh home made soup. You will also find a large selection of freshly made cakes and freshly made award winning scones. If you are feeling a little more adventurous you could try our secret recipe welsh rarebit. We have been offered serious money for this recipe, and one taste will tell you why. Our "firemans Lift" welsh rarebit is so named because of its substantial size (you will need a fireman to lift you after this one). All our hot dishes can be watered down with our fine selection of teas and freshly ground coffee, or with our carefully selected wines and beers.
