Butcher, Baker, Pork Pie Maker

We're Thornton’s Bakehouse & Butchers, based on Chapel Street in Easingwold, set amongst the rolling countryside of North Yorkshire. As a third-generation, family-run business led by John Thornton, our name is built on heritage, hard work, and a deep respect for traditional craft.

Our butchery is shaped by the land around us. Every cut is carefully sourced from trusted local farms, reflecting the quality, provenance, and honesty that North Yorkshire is known for. We believe that great produce starts close to home, and we’re proud to support the farmers who make that possible.

In our bakehouse, time-honoured methods are at the heart of everything we create. From our handcrafted pork pies to our freshly baked pastries, everything is made daily, with care, skill, and an eye for detail, served just as it should be, straight from our ovens.

Alongside our butchery and bakery, we also offer a carefully selected range of dry goods and seasonal produce, chosen to complement our core offering and showcase the best of what our region has to offer.

Rooted in Yorkshire tradition and driven by a passion for excellence, we remain committed to one simple principle: doing things properly, and doing them well.
