Deliciously Yorkshire Breakfast
Does your local Pub, Hotel or B&B serve a Deliciously Yorkshire Breakfast?
When staying in accommodation the last thing I remember about a place is the breakfast, not the clean rooms or the chocolate on the turned down bed, the breakfast. If served a rubbish breakfast after a pleasant stay somewhere, all you remember is the dodgy sausages !
Well now you can look out for, or suggest to your favourite B&B that they serve a Deliciouslyorkshire Breakfast, your guarantee of a truly local breakfast made with quality, locally grown or homemade ingredients!
Designed to encourage hotels, B&Bs and cafes to source more regional produce, the Deliciouslyorkshire Breakfast scheme is only open to those who source 5 ingredients or more regionally – look out for the distinctive Deliciouslyorkshire Breakfast logo.
The scheme continues to go from strength-to-strength – capitalising on the growing interest in sourcing and serving more locally produced food with all the benefits of few air miles and a healthier, greener environment – not forgetting the great, fresh taste!
If you would like to serve Deliciously Yorkshire Breakfast’s then get in touch with Paganum to supply all your Yorkshire Breakfast ingredients and then register with the Deliciously Yorkshire Regional Food Group to promote your quality local breakfast.

Our most recent Hogroast was at Bentham Auction Mart, a full hog served with apple sauce & stuffing, green salad, coleslaw and potato salad and Classic Pork Sausages and Burgers. It was a full day as the Hog had to go on at about 10am to ensure it was cooked through for serving at 6.30pm and to guarantee that fantastic crispy crackling! Our Classic Pork bangers and burgers were also served along with the pork sandwiches.

It was very good to see a vibrant farmers market full of fantastic produce and plenty of customers, some stalls were nearly sold out by 11am, nearly all the strawberries and green beans were gone.
We bought red and yellow cherry tomatoes, green beans, Single and Double Gloucester cheese from Godsells, Church Farm, Stonehouse and organic Cotswold Brie from Simon Weaver of Kirkham Farm, Upper Slaughter, Sun dried tomatoes, scotch eggs, Gloucester old spot pork sausages (for the kids), apple juice, steawberries and a bottle of English wine.
The excellent scotch eggs were from The Handmade Scotch Egg Company which come in a fantastic array of flavours, we tried BlackWatch with rich black pudding and free range pork a Mac which is an original scotch egg (free range pork and seasoning), a Passion which is a bit different with free range pork, beetroot and red onion and lastly a Baz which is free range welsh white/landrace cross pork with fresh basil, sun dried tomatoes and black olives, they were mmm scrumptious…

Went to my first bonfire of the season last night with the kids and sampled brother Nigel’s top hog roast with apple sauce & stuffing and some very crunchy crackling!! mm that crackling was good! Also managed a couple of famous Wildman Sausages, still the best but I am rather biased!
The bonfire and a top firework display was at Riverside Caravan Park in Bentham, the display was done by the Black Powder Monkey’s.
