Brand : Botham's of Whitby

Botham's of Whitby Elizabeth Botham set up her bakery in the ancient fishing port of Whitby over 150 years ago.
She began by selling her bread and cakes from a basket at the local market and eventually bought the premises on Skinner Street. Botham's traditions are now proudly continued by the fifth generation of her family.
We are famous for our Yorkshire Brack, Ginger Brack, Shah Ginger Biscuits and our 'top-seller' the addictive Plum Bread, although our repertoire includes so much more, we started making Shah Ginger Biscuits in the eighties. Did you know that they were originally square? Enjoyed today, a Botham's Shah Ginger Biscuit is round but the taste is the same today as it was in the 1980's - as is the mouth-watering ginger aroma which fills our Skinner Street bakehouse when you pull a freshly baked tray out of the oven. Our biscuits have lots of interesting stories, such as the birth of our popular Tea Biscuits which was in fact due to a baker forgetting to add the ginger flavour to our Shah Ginger method - we thank you for that happy mistake!
