What could be nicer than having a cheery delivery of fresh locally grown, produced and prepared foods brought to your holiday cottage doorstep. Ben and Catherine Adamson of Lillies Food are a local family run business in Danby Dale. They specialise in working with the area’s farmers and producers of quality local sustainable meat and produce. With over 20 years of experience in outside catering for weddings, dinner parties, and celebrations of all nature.
Following the Covid pandemic Ben and Catherine changed their business to be local local local and *hurrah* say us! Catherine’s father and brother farm in Danby Dale and her grandad Peter Lillie ran his own renowned butchers shop in Guisborough. They grow lots of their own vegetables and work out of a professional kitchen in Botton village at the head of the dale, producing absolutely scrumptious meals for you to simply put straight on the table or pop in the oven. Then all you need do is sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the view. Make life easy.
