The toast is Baltzersen's, the Harrogate bakery, in white potato loaf, multigrain bloomer or sourdough. The bacon is dry cured in Dalton, four miles up the road, and the black pudding is Doreen's. We bake the scones and the cakes here; we do not bake the bread, and we would rather say so than let you assume.

True Tea Co. blend in Harrogate and we are the only cafe in Thirsk serving it. It comes in an individual pot rather than a mug with a string hanging out of the side, which is the whole argument for loose leaf and the reason we bother.
