Dale Stores

Description

Welcome to Dale Stores Birstwith, we are proud to support both our local community and also local suppliers and producers.

Our store is packed full of goodies from around the Dales, such as quality meats from Weatherheads butchers of Pateley Bridge, where we know they buy meat from local farmers who graze their animals on the beautiful rich grasses of Nidderdale.

Our fresh fish are delivered to us by Ramus Seafoods of Harrogate renowned for quality fresh seafood and fish.

Each day we get fresh bread and cakes from Park View Stores, scrummy cakes for morning coffee and fresh bread for your bacon sarnies!

We have a large selection of cheeses to choose from supplied by The Cheese Board, Such as traditional dales cheeses like Wensleydale (great with Christmas cake – try it!), and quite a few you won’t have heard of, come and see and try something different.

And don’t forget our very own range of AJs products – homemade jams, chutneys, marmalades, pickles, sauces, gravy…. Oh cakes, biscuits the list is endless! Why not visit our online store where you can buy any of the AJs range. www.ajsfood.co.uk

Pop in and see us, we would love you to come and have a look at all great produce, and don’t forget we also have a Post Office and sell lots of things you need or didn’t realise you needed!

Hope to see you soon

Definitely the best village shop I have ever visited….. popped in just to see if they had a sandwich and was blown away by the range of fresh goods and everything else…. Just live up the dale, would make a detour to visit again!

Fantastic village shop and post office with a large and diverse range of quality local produce, fresh food, ingredients and essentials. Their sandwiches, deli style pastries and treats are a particular favourite. Perfect to call in to grab an amazing freshly made packed lunch on your way up to the dales!

Possibly the best village shop I have ever visited. The staff are always friendly, helpful and jovial to help give you a relaxed experience. If it's your first time visiting they are pacient too and don't rush. Great produce at a really good price. Good made on site tastes amazing. Also a very handy post office section with brilliant service. Shame you weren't able to open the store in Hampsthwaite.
