Welcome to The Dales Kitchen
Our aim at The Dales Kitchen is to provide a web based resource for local food in and around the Yorkshire Dales. We hope that by doing this we can raise awareness of what’s available in the Dales and help people to enjoy good local food. If we do this well, we hope to benefit the region by increasing business for local food producers, restaurants and retailers.

The Dales Deli
As part of the Dales Kitchen we will soon be launching the Dales Deli. This will be an on-line shop where you will be able to order food from local shops and producers and have it delivered direct to your door.
Dales Kitchen launches test site
Rather than wait until we’ve got our directory fully populated with local food businesses, we thought it would be best to just get on with it and develop the site as we go. That way we can be sure that we build the site around what people want it to be.
Big farmhouse breakfast
Bumper Yorkshire farmhouse breakfasts – all 164 of them – were served up over three days and six sittings at this year’s annual Charity Farmhouse Breakfast.
Husband-and-wife farmers and on-farm accommodation providers Chris and Christine Ryder threw open their doors at Scaife Hall Farm, Blubberhouses, for the 2010 feast, which raised £4200 for the ARC-Addington Fund.
The national charity helps maintain the economic and social fabric of UK farming communities, notably through its Strategic Rural Housing Scheme, which provides housing for farmer and their families who have to leave their farm and cannot find anywhere suitable to live.
The 2010 Big Breakfast was organised and run jointly by REAL Food and Farming, which promotes and supports the Yorkshire Dales uplands and the communities and businesses that depend on them, and local members of Farm Stay UK, Britain’s biggest network of farm-based accommodation providers.
It again shone the spotlight on the value and importance of using quality local produce, as well as starting the day with a healthy, nutritious breakfast.
Barclays Bank was main sponsor, with support also received from other local and regional suppliers and individuals – John & Rachel Gate, Hearts & Flowers, Bellerby’s Dairy, Mackenzies Smokehouse, Crimple Valley Fresh, Arthur Haigh Butchers, Threaplands Farm Bakery, Bolton Abbey Foods, Craven Bacon Supplies, Coffee Care Northern, Paxtons Farm Meats, Bracken Hill Fine Foods, Harrogate & Nidderdale Farm Stay Group, Shortridge Laundry, Bolton Abbey Estates, Stephenson & Son, Ripon Farm Services, Denise Eagland & Daphne Wilson.
A venue is already in place for the 2011 Charity Big Breakfast – St George’s Court B&B, Old Home Farm, High Grantley, Ripon, to be hosted by Will and Lindsey Hitchen.
