Take our butchers, just five miles up the road. The Hammonds have been perfecting their craft for generations. Family-run, community-minded and proudly traditional, their meat comes from local farms, expertly prepared and full of honest flavour.
Come hungry, leave happy, and perhaps a little more in love with the Dales.
