Autumn is definitely here and there is a nip in the air. As customers reach for their hats and start to plan their autumn strolls, let us help you to plan your autumn displays with deliciously warming ginger bakes from Botham’s of Whitby. Craft bakers in the historic fishing port of Whitby, North Yorkshire since 1865, the recipe is definitely tried and tested!

For over 150 years, Botham’s of Whitby has been blessing the world with its high-quality baked goods. It all started back in 1865 when Elizabeth Botham set up a bakery in the ancient fishing port of Whitby. She worked hard, selling her goods at markets, and was later able to buy a shop on Skinner Street. Five generations later, her family still produce goods, inspired by her creations. 

Let’s start with Botham's Yorkshire Ginger Parkin Cake. Its elegant golden packaging will compliment your autumn displays perfectly and deliver a warming flavour of ground ginger and a unique oatmeal texture to your customers. Jonathan Botham, Botham’s Managing Director, always chooses slices of Yorkshire Ginger Parkin to warm up with following autumn dips in the North Sea.

Have you tried it with a spread of Yorkshire butter and slice of cheese? The flavour combination of savoury and sweet are a partnership made in Yorkshire heaven. We always recommend a hearty mug of Botham’s house blend Resolution Tea to serve alongside too.

Botham’s have been making Heritage Ginger Loaf in Whitby for over 150 years! With a texture between a cake and bread, the Botham's Whitby Heritage Ginger Loaf is one of Botham’s most traditional bakes hence why they have added ‘heritage’ to its title. They even suggest you lightly toast this block of gingerbread and top it with real butter to deliver a truly warming autumnal brunch.

Botham’s of Whitby work hard to ensure that every cake, biscuit and loaf is made baked to perfection. Did you know that the bakers at Botham’s still take inspiration from the past, to help drove their business forward today? Their whole brand pays homage to the traditional Yorkshire baking style and they even name some of their goodies after their Elizabeth Botham’s family. 

When the autumn chill hits, the kettle is definitely whistling and we have the perfect biscuit to go with your cup of tea. Botham’s Shah Ginger Biscuits are not only stealthy dunkers, but they also deliver a wonderful snap alongside that deliciously warming ginger flavour. Shah Ginger Biscuits are Botham’s most popular biscuit line, but you can also choose from equally delicious flavours by viewing the full Botham’s offering here at Springvale Foods.

However you choose to warm up this autumn, do it with a slice of Botham’s tea bread or a Botham’s biscuit in your hand! The Whitby Heritage Ginger Loaf, Yorkshire Ginger Parkin and Shah Ginger Biscuits all have a minimum shelf-life of twenty weeks which will now see customers into January 2022 – a perfect choice for gathering products to make your own Christmas hampers.
