Traditional Farm Bakery & Tearoom in Scarborough
Sally Middlewood Farm Bakery & Tearoom has been crafting traditional Yorkshire farmhouse baking for over 30 years. Founded by Sally, a farmer's daughter with a passion for quality desserts, the business initially served the trade sector before expanding into a bakery and tearoom with support from a DEFRA grant. Today, it is a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike, offering seven-day trading with a team of over 10 local staff. Over 90% of products are made on-site, utilizing free-range eggs from the family farm managed by Sally's brother Andrew and son Robert. The farm, which has been operated by the family since 1956, supplies cereals, fodder beet, sheep, and over 200 hens, ensuring exceptional freshness in every product. Our bakery offers traditional breads, pastries, tray bakes, ready meals, and award-winning Voakes pork pies, while the tearoom serves breakfasts, light lunches, and cream teas in a converted tractor shed retaining farmhouse character.The popular Yorvale Ice Cream and handmade preserves add to the extensive range, all supported by a warm, friendly Yorkshire welcome. We remain committed to authentic methods, local sourcing, and maintaining the same high standards established at our inception. Our dedication to quality has earned recognition from customers who appreciate our 'heavenly scones,' 'delicious curd tart,' and 'lovely friendly staff.' This enduring reputation for excellence ensures Sally Middlewood continues to be a trusted name in Yorkshire farmhouse baking.
