More than a bakery. More than a bistro.
66 Sheep Street was created with one simple ambition: to bring people together over exceptional food, genuine Yorkshire hospitality and a space that feels as welcoming on your first visit as it does on your fiftieth.
From fresh pastries and morning coffee to relaxed dinners, Sunday roasts and celebrations with friends, 66 is a place to gather, unwind and make memories – morning, noon and night.
Our Story
Built with passion.
What began as an empty space has been transformed through months of hard work, determination and an enormous amount of care.
From the first few months before opening, Tom and the team have poured countless hours into bringing 66 Sheep Street to life. From new flooring and thoughtfully designed interiors to a completely renovated bakery and kitchen downstairs, every detail has been carefully considered to create a place that feels warm, welcoming and unmistakably 66.
The result is somewhere designed to become part of everyday life in Skipton – a place to meet, celebrate and return to time and time again.
Bakery by day
Mornings begin here.
Before most of Skipton is awake, our bakery is already hard at work.
Pastries are baked fresh each morning and the coffee is ready before the doors open. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast through the hatch or settling in for brunch, every day begins with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality.
Bistro by night
As the day changes, so do we.
From Thursday through to Saturday, our evenings take on a different rhythm.
The lights soften, candles are lit and the bakery transforms into a relaxed neighbourhood bistro serving seasonal dishes, carefully chosen wines and cocktails.
It’s the same warm welcome, just with a different atmosphere.
It's the little things that matter.
Great Food
Thoughtfully prepared using quality ingredients, honest cooking and plenty of care.
Genuine Hospitality
We want everyone who walks through our doors to feel welcome, relaxed and looked after – from your first coffee to your last cocktail.
A Place to Gather
Whether you're catching up with friends, celebrating with family or simply enjoying a quiet coffee, we hope 66 becomes somewhere you love returning to.
Meet Tom
The vision behind 66.
After years spent working in some of Yorkshire’s most respected kitchens – and reaching the MasterChef final – Tom always dreamed of creating a place that reflected the way he loves to cook and welcome people.
66 Sheep Street brings those ideas together. A bakery you’ll visit throughout the week. A bistro you’ll return to for celebrations. A place where quality never feels intimidating and great hospitality always comes first.

Abi
Head Chef
Originally from Leeds, Abi’s love of food started at home, where the kitchen was always the hub. After heading to catering college, she never left the industry and still loves the buzz of a busy kitchen and making people happy through food.
Outside the kitchen, you’ll usually find her training for CrossFit and Hyrox, walking the hills with her German Pointer, Bella, or heading off in her campervan.

“I’m excited to be working with Tom again and helping to build a restaurant in Skipton that people want to return to time and time again.”
Richard
Senior Sous Chef
Born in Leeds and now proud to call Skipton home, Richard’s love of food began as a little boy baking with his Nana. Those early memories sparked a passion for hospitality that grew into a career centred around great food and looking after people.

Jacob
General Manager
Originally from Poland, Jacob started working in hospitality at 17 thinking it would just be a summer job. Years later, he’s still here — largely because he loves meeting people and the fact that no two days are ever quite the same.
Outside 66, you’ll usually find him exploring Yorkshire with his son — or putting his MMA and grappling training to good use.
- Coffee orderStrong Americano, a little cold milk & two sugars
- Foodie weaknessPrawns — preferably a mountain of them
- If he wasn’t in hospitality…MMA fighter or coach
