Drewton’s Farm Shop

East Yorkshire

From locally smoked gammon joints to the deep-filled steak pies (accompanied by heavy tubs of extra onion gravy, naturally), everything about this South Cave deli shouts Yorkshire. Owner Katie Taylor sources nearly all her produce from local suppliers (the likes of buffalo, kangaroo and crocodile steak come from further afield). Floral set honey hails from the Drewton Estate itself; game such as venison, hare and quail from neighbouring farms; smoked garlic chipotle from The Chilli Jam Man in Malton; and home-pressed dry cider from Moorlands Farm in York. With holiday cottages scattered about the 1,200 acres of land, much of the farm shop’s offerings are snatched up early in the day by residential guests. Pass by before lunch to be in with a chance of swiping a chunky slab of white chocolate and beetroot cake to follow your roast beef and Jervaulx blue cheese doorstop sandwich. The decent wine cellar here can turn a quick visit into a whole-day affair – an afternoon tasting finishes in good time for an evening hog roast, held in the courtyard throughout spring and summer.
