Talbot Yard

Top choice in North York Moors National Park

LoginSave

Across the road from the Talbot Hotel, this huddle of converted stables has been reimagined as an extraordinary food court housing the stuff of gourmands' dreams. Here you'll find the only UK shop from award-winning master patissier Florian Poirot, and the home base of artisan Yorkshire bakery Blue Bird, among others. Come for gelato, posh pork pies, freshly-ground coffee, Chelsea buns and macarons.

Talbot Yard is the main focus of Malton's Artisan Food Tour, but it's also easy to browse independently; perfect for picnic fodder.
