Botham's of Whitby
About
Botham’s of Whitby is a beloved family‑run tea room that has been baking traditional English treats since 1865. Nestled on 8 Park Street in Pickering, the shop offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere where visitors can sample freshly baked cakes, scones, finger sandwiches, and a wide variety of teas and coffees – all made with locally sourced ingredients.

The historic building, set in the picturesque town of Whitby, provides a charming backdrop that reflects the long‑standing baking traditions of the area. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, often eager to recommend the best seasonal offerings – from the Full English breakfast plate to the beloved Whitby Lemon Buns. Whether you’re a quick coffee‑connoisseur, a foodie on holiday, or a giver looking for a thoughtful gift, Botham’s blends heritage, quality, and convenience into one memorable experience.
