Botham’s of Whitby

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. Our Skinner Street branch was the original premises, started by Elizabeth as a bakehouse, shop and ‘Hole in the Wall’ micro-pub. Visit our bakery shop for your Whitby Lemon Bun fix, try our renowned Yorkshire Brack & Plum Bread, and feast on Sourdough, Pork Pies, fancy cakes, and much more.

Please note: The Upstairs Tea Room at Skinner Street is closed indefinitely for essential site work. If you’d like to join us for Afternoon Tea, lunch, or a hot drink, please head to Baxtergate Tea Rooms.
