Nice to find a butchers and bakers on the same premises. And even better to find that both halves of the business are equally good. As is so often the case, came in looking for dinner options after a day exploring. Left with some burgers, and then because the bakery was impossible to ignore a tray of butterfly cakes as well. If you are in the village and dinner arrangements are still a mystery to you then absolutely seek this one out.
Great place to get lunch for walking the hills. Plenty of pies and slices. Cakes are excellent. Walkers should stock up on the cakes for their afternoon tea as most cafes in the area are closed by the time you've finished on the hills. Lived the Eccles cakes & Fat Rascals
Well, there is also a bakery! Never tested a pie (steak and ale) that was SO FULL of meet. Fantastic taste and a steel at £5.96 And sausages are so tasty as well Definitely recommend
Friendly and helpful. Their smoked bacon chops and Wensleydale sausages went down a treat. A must if in Hawes.
We have been visiting the Dales, in particular this area for well over 15 years. We always make an effort to get out baked goods and meat from here. Always. It's a place we make a bee line for. However on Tuesday of this week we bought some chicken thighs and wings. The thighs were given to us from the freezer. I'll admit, I never thought to check the date. But when we got back and went to use them the following day (24 hours), we were greeted with a pungent smell from the thighs and they were sticky and green. It was then we noticed the they were out of date according to their labelling. Which turns out is illegal. Now we still love this butchers. But this is a bit dodge and potentially very dangerous. I'm thinking the tall standing freezer needs a good thorough check over of its stock.
