Three Ryedale business have been selected to represent the Thirsk & Malton constituency at ‘A Taste of North Yorkshire’ at the Houses of Parliament this week.

The Original Baker, based in Norton, and the Yorkshire Wolds Apple Juice Co, near Burythorpe and Florians from Malton, will showcase their products at the event after receiving a personal invitation from Kevin Hollinrake MP.

Mr Hollinrake is hosting a 'Taste of North Yorkshire event' on January 31 between 12.30 and 3.30pm in the Jubilee Room in the Palace of Westminster.

All eight North Yorkshire MPs are bringing a local business as well as two from Mr Hollinrake's constituency. We will have a range of produce and it's set to be an exciting day.

Mr Hollinrake said: "The aim of this event is to showcase the breath of incredible small businesses North Yorkshire has to offer and reiterate how important it is to support locally run businesses such as these in your community, something I have long advocated for."

Situated on Norton Grove Industrial Estate, The Original Baker uses time-honoured recipes to produce premium sweet and savoury products for wholesale customers, eminent farm shops and delis.

The company's Commercial Manager Richard Oglesby and Innovation Manager Kate Hill will be showcasing the company’s handcrafted baked goods at the event including a selection of artisan pies and brownies, including the award-winning Steak and Ale Pie.
