Have you heard the news? We’ve been awarded yet another Gold Star at the Great Taste Awards! This time, the award-winning product is our Deli Black Pudding Sausage Roll. Now we’ve always known that our deli sausage rolls are a stand out product thanks to their excellent quality locally reared pork sausage meat, a secret blend of herbs and spices, and a touch of rich black pudding, all made in Helmsley by Thomas’ master butchers and bakers. But the proof is really “in the pudding”. The judges at this year’s Great Taste Awards have proclaimed that our deli sausage rolls are “hearty” and “truly appealing looking” with a “crisp and buttery, flaky pastry with a moist well-seasoned sweet porky inside”. Our Deli Black Pudding Sausage Roll was originally only available in our Thomas of Helmsley deli, which is based in our hometown, Great British High Street’s award winning market town in 2015. Once we realised how much our customers loved…

Finding a gift for your dad for Father’s Day can be tricky. With a day that’s been around since 1910, according to most reports, all the usual ones have been done before – whisky, a few bottles of beer, the tie he’s never worn. Many will argue that Mother’s Day is much easier to shop for with bath products, chocolate and bouquets of flowers. So this year, we’re changing things up for this very special Sunday (which is only 3 days away – the 17th June, for anyone that’s forgotten!). Our idea doesn’t need a lot of effort, but it’ll make any Yorkshire-man happy; it can also be put together quickly if you’ve left your gift buying till last minute – no need for extortionate online next day delivery charges for something he’s going to throw in the back of the cupboard! No, instead show him you care with a bunch of Sausage Rolls’ies! Thomas the Baker’s sausage rolls are…

Have you heard about our Thomas of Helmsley Deli Sausage Rolls? If not, where have you been?! We originally only sold these in our deli and butchers in Helmsley, Thomas of Helmsley, but they’ve been almost literally flying off the shops. In fact, they’ve proved so popular that we’ve decided to “roll” them out to a limited range of our stores so that even if you’re not in Helmsley, you’ll get the chance to try them. Starting from Monday 19th February, the following six Thomas the Baker stores will have our Deli Sausage Rolls available for sale: Kirkbymoorside Pickering Malton Easingwold York: Market Street York: Kings Square If you’re not sure where these are located or which would be the nearest to you, head over to our store locator to find out more.

You might remember I mentioned our development team at the bakery the other day. Well, it’s not just cupcakes and sweet things they’re always thinking it, it’s everything from new and exciting breads taking inspiration from recipes around the world to brand new ranges such as fudge and meringues – I’m keeping you in suspense here again, because there’s more of that to come at a later date. Here at the Thomas the Baker blog, you get exclusive access to what’s going on behind the scenes at the bakery, so today I’m bringing you a bit of information on a new product in development: deli style sausage rolls. Sausage rolls are one of our most popular savoury products. In fact, if anyone ever talks to me about Thomas the Baker, they’ll always mention sausage rolls. Personally, they’re not my favourite product, but that’s only because I’m more likely to be found lurking around the confectionery than the meat and savouries!…
