Goldee's Bagels

Introducing ‘Everything Bagel Chilli Crisp’ a creation 100% made by Jim over I’m not going to stand up and lie about having any part in this but hey we’ve made it this far.

It’s essentially our Everything Bagel mix. Which we make here. Where we dry out chopped garlic and spring onion combined with Maldon sea salt then a mixture of black & white sesame & poppy seeds. Jim has gone and made a spicy almost ‘meaty tasting’ some may say, chilli crunch it’s pretty great with the egg & cheese some may also say.

We’ll be offering it up as an inclusion in the sandwiches this week but you can also buy the jars themselves at the truck!

Well it’s that time of the year again…not posting all year and then just dumping a few things that occurred throughout the year. We are taking a wee break now with our next trading day being Wednesday 21st January. Then back onto our usually schedule for the rest of the year.

Big thanks to all that have come out this year, both at Food Circle and The Shambles. It’s very much appreciated and always good to see all the different faces from regulars to people who we may have not seen for a while, who in my head I think I’ve said something stupid and now they never want a bagel ever again but actually turns out they’ve moved away and now they just have the occasional visit to York.

Big shout out to some of our suppliers cranking out that beautiful smoked salmon and for that glorious smoked streaky bacon.

Attention and appreciation moves onto Tang Hall. Louise for keeping the Food Circle going strong she is driving to all sorts of places just to get the best produce from around these Yorkshire parts. Stephen for making the centre a great place to be and always being up for a timed 15min chat in between folds. Jimbo for taking in parcels when i’ve been straddling the market and the bakery.

It’s been an interesting year of just making small improvements with the cash we have available but the small improvements have brought much joy…as you can see from the neon installation and finally getting some sort of extraction. Both huge days for Goldee’s corp. Long may this continue just making small improvements and hopefully expanding parts of the menu in the future which would be swell. We are a small team of 3 which can be very challenging at times but both and have kept this thing sailing on with Jess now getting involved on the baking side which has been cool to see.

Jim and I gave ol’ Golden Tang a college try with the hoagie sandwiches which we would definitely like to bring back/develop some sort of once a month evening thing in the future which would also be something to look forward to this year.

Anyhoo see ya’ll next year 🥯

The era’s of all the production units…the long, eventful and crippling road to a 20ft x 8ft shipping container.

Whilst baking down at the legendary Haxby Bakehouse I would fill my free time making more bread in the shape of BAGELS from home like the glutenous psycho I am often bouncing ideas off my very supportive housemate . I was then gently nudged into doing a Sunday market down at the Shambles Market. ‘Nothing to lose…’ and ‘why not…’ were common phrases thrown about.

I then sheepishly asked if I could sneak in on Saturdays and Sundays to make and bake some bagels to which he very kindly agreed on the terms that a few bagels would be ‘accidentally’ left behind. The one true form of baker negotiations.

After a brief stint at my good friend , Abbie, Frank & Brian’s house. I moved to a garage off the A64 which was short but enjoyable all the same but a cost I couldn’t afford at the time.

Next up, I moved into my own place which so happened to have a garage. Gave it a thorough sweep and moved the operations back home where I started to ramp up wholesale and confuse my neighbours as to why there were lights and steam excreting from said garage at such an early hour. This lasted all of a year and then some big hitters came calling.

one of my wholesalers at the time offered me up a space in an underground bunker of a kitchen in return for a healthy supply of bagels to which I agreed and to whom I’m very grateful for offering up.

Almost done folks last few stops. came calling and offered me up a gem of a location right in the heart of the city to which I gratefully took them up on and what a stop it was, meeting some real legends of hospitality and colluding on ideas.

Finally, the shipping container was born. Thank you to for welcoming me into the fam. A lot of thanks to the bakers who have dropped in for a rogue shift. The people who have let me into their spaces. I’m missing a few people/steps here I’m on a word limit…

This page will primarily be BAGEL/Shambles related. You can now follow the Tang Hall unit for more bread ideas, catering, pop-ups etc..
