Cosgriff and Sons Bakery, York: Yorkshire bakery to appear on James Martin's Saturday Morning after being so impressed with their sourdough
A Yorkshire bakery nestled amongst one of the regions most iconic views is to appear on James Martin’s TV show after impressing the celebrity chef.
The appearance on James Martin’s Saturday Morning, which is set to air on November 22, comes after the Yorkshire chef popped into Cosgriff and Sons Bakery in York.
The bakery is opposite Clifford’s Tower and is known for its sourdough, but also offers pastries, specialty coffee, and a seasonal sandwich menu.
James Martin tried out the bakery’s signature sourdough and was so impressed he invited them to appear on the show this weekend.
“We’ve always been proud of the community that supports us,” said owner Paul Cosgriff. “To have James Martin drop in and recognise our work was an incredible moment.”

On the programme, Paul speaks about how the signature sourdough is created using traditional methods, the story behind the bakery and their commitment to quality.
“The sourdough takes around 36 hours to create,” Paul said.
“We use a natural fermentation process; no commercial yeast, no shortcuts. It’s all about time, temperature, and intuition. That’s how we build deep flavour and a golden crust.”
