The classic Yorkshire Greats Toastie combines Yorkshire Cheddar with Red Onion and Henderson’s Relish to create a nostalgic home comfort whilst the Ploughman’s Toastie uses Yorkshire Red with Ham, Pickle and Gherkins to pack a punch.
If they aren’t to your taste, how about carb heaven with the Mac and Yorkshire Cheddar Cheese Toastie (my personal favourite) or split the crowd with the Yorkshire Red Cheese, Ham and Pineapple Toastie.
The Yorkshire Creamery uses specially selected fresh Yorkshire milk and ages their cheese to perfection to create a range of tasty cheeses that ‘tastes like they ought to’. Everybody loves a toastie – why not try one of our favourites?
