Food & Drink Shopping

North Yorkshire is renowned for its excellent locally produced food and drink, and you can take a little bit of this food heaven home with you.

Discover the many farm shops, microbreweries, cheesemakers and independent fishmongers, butchers and bakeries in the towns, villages and countryside of the county where you will find the freshest, most delicious food and drink. Let your palette be tempted by locally produced cheeses, jams, chutneys and chocolates. Freshly caught fish is displayed on ice in fishmongers along the North Yorkshire coast within hours of being caught.

North Yorkshire farmers proudly rear exceptional beef, pork, venison and lamb from animals grazing on the lush pastures of the dales and moors. You can buy cuts of meat from one of the many farm shops in the area as well as from independent butchers in the market towns alongside freshly made pies. Artisan bakers produce a wide range of breads, pastries and cakes, perfect for a picnic or celebration.

There are several microbreweries and gin distilleries in North Yorkshire producing some of the best beers and spirits in the country. Learn about the processes involved on a tour, enjoy a sample and buy your favourite tipples to savour at home.
