Botham's Baxtergate Tea Room & Shop

Find Baxtergate Shop & Tea Room in the town centre, close to the train station and harbour. Browse our small but busy bakery shop or relax in our Tea Room, which is counter-service and offers a delicious menu which celebrates our baking roots. Join us for Afternoon Tea for a special Yorkshire treat – booking is advisable. Entry to our shop and the first level of the Tea Rooms is on ground level.

Elizabeth Botham set up her bakery in the ancient fishing port of Whitby over 150 years ago. She began by selling her bread and cakes from a basket at the local market. Botham's traditions are now proudly continued by the fifth generation of her family.

We have five shops and three Tea Rooms in Whitby, Sleights & Pickering, North Yorkshire. We are famous for Whitby Lemon Buns, Yorkshire Brack, Plum Bread, Shah Ginger Biscuits and Chocolate Japonaise, although our repertoire includes so much more.
