It is a privilege to live and work in one of the UK's national parks. That's why we do what we can to act sustainably and responsibly. We do this by:
sourcing locally whenever we can
minimising food miles
minimising waste
making and cooking fresh inhouse
using recyclable and compostable products
avoiding single use items whenever we can
celebrating our natural environment
Eat and drink the view
We think its important to shop locally whenever we can. It reduces food miles while supporting local communities and their businesses.

The GreenGrocer Thirsk
At home we have used and loved The Greengrocer for years, so it made sense to bring that freshness and quality to 1934 CAFE. Charlie and Fiona provide the finest selection of fresh produce daily, including fruit and vegetable box deliveries to YO7.
Johnson's of Thirsk
Traditional family butchers since 1830, Sarah-Jane and Andrew provide wonderful locally sourced meat, charcuterue, condiments and complimentary foodstuffs. Its Johnson's sausages that are at the heart of our breakfast barms and freshly baked sausage rolls.
Katy Bakes
We met Katy at the Thirsk farmer's market where we sampled her gluten free galaxy brownie. From that point we were hooked. You can find Katy's gluten free and other creations in the cafe - from Biscoff to Blondie and mint aero marvels.
Moonshine Icecream
Real dairy Ice Cream made the traditional way. The team at Moonshine take great care in choosing all their ingredients and great delight in creating new unique recipes for every occasion. Made in the nearby village of Coxwold they offer ice cream with 'Spirits ~ Liqueurs ~ Botanicals' and with out. Either way, they are all delicious.
Roost
Small batch coffee roasters using ethically sourced green beans and eco friendly roasting technology Roost are the wonderful people behind our Brazilian coffee and Guatemala decaf.
Thomas the Baker
One of our larger suppliers, Thomas the Baker are nonetheless local to us. Their fresh bread comes from either their main bakery in Helmsley or local shop in Thirsk producing delicious rolls, barms and more.
