Aldred's Story
Aldred’s was founded by Rebecca Aldred in 2018 with a desire to bring artisan cheese from around the world to the local area. Her husband Matthew joined the team in 2019 to move the business from online only to a little shop in the heart of Scarborough.
Matthew brought his passion for baking and wood-fired cooking with him which could be seen in the Eatery menu and Aldred's takeaway which ran throughout the Covid lockdowns. We briefly ran a small bakery under our cheese shop and offered cheese and bakery deliveries in the local area.
Throughout the not-so-fabulous lockdown times, we innovated and adapted to find a niche that suited our style while trying to not go bankrupt, we finally stumbling across event catering in 2021. We were approached by a cheese shop customer to cater her wedding with a cheese-grazing table and wood-fired pizzas. We loved the atmosphere and the vibrancy and felt truly honoured to be a part of someone's special day, so much so that we came home and discussed how we could move into wedding and event catering full time, as they say, the rest is history.
We have always been a family business with a passion for great food and making great food accessible to everyone. Passion for the food that we source and create is always at the heart of every dish. Aldred's can sometimes be seen at festivals where we serve quirky dishes from our wood fired set kitchen.

Becky is specialised in artisan cheese and brings her expertise, flavour knowledge and flare for the quirky to all our menu designs. She has been interested in cheese since her late teenage years when she spent a winter season working in France and discovered cheeses that she'd never seen or heard of before. Completely moved and inspired by the vast range within the cheese counters and how passionate the people selling the cheese were about the products.
After returning home she realised she couldn’t buy any of the cheeses she'd seen in France and no one had heard of them either. In a way that only Becky can manage with her bold and usually borderline insane ideas, she decided the best course of action was to attend every cheese-making course and cheese-mongering class and then open a business. Over the eight years it took to attend every class she could find, she discovered multiple cuisines and the ideas kept building along the way.
Aldred's is a micro business run by husband and wife team Matthew and Rebecca Aldred.
You can find us at festivals or wedding and event catering. If you have an event you would like us to cater give us a call or message today for more information.
