Our Story
C Dawson & Sons was established in Brayton in 1960 by Clifford Dawson and traded as a high-class butcher with its own abattoir.
Our current premises and business were developed by William and Charles Dawson.
Now in its third generation of Dawson’s Phillip and John maintain its reputation for high quality produce.
Quality Family Butcher
Quality meat is our passion. We focus our attention on sourcing the finest whole carcass meat from a range of high class Yorkshire abattoirs. All our beef is born, raised and slaughtered in Yorkshire. We mature the majority of our beef for at least 4 weeks and spend a lot of time ensuring our Pork and Lamb is butchered to provide the best eating joints possible. For over 60 years, we have developed a reputation for our excellent home cured bacon, a range of sausages and high quality meats.
Home Baked Pies
For over 40 years we have perfected and produced a range of pies, pasties and pastries. Sticking to the same family recipes, we continue to bake high quality pies with top quality fillings. All pies and pastries are made from scratch on the premises and baked daily.
Freshly Baked Breads
Using high quality ingredients and locally milled flour, we bake a wide selection of fresh breads and cakes daily. Our bread cakes make the perfect partner for our wide range of cooked meats to produce a selection of mouth-watering sandwiches.
Taste The Care
Animal welfare is of the utmost importance to us.
C Dawson & Sons work with farmers and processors that share in our passion for animal husbandry and excellent quality. This ensures only the best quality produce for our shop from a sustainable source with full traceability.
Baked Fresh Daily
True traditional family recipes our customers love.
At C Dawson & Sons, our Pies and Pastries are made by hand and baked daily. We take great pride in producing delicious, hearty, traditional products which taste as good as they look and uphold our exceptional reputation, developed over decades of serving our customers.
We offer a wide range of Savoury and Sweet Pies in various sizes and many delicious flavours. Along with our famous Pork Pies and Sausage Rolls, we also make a range of Pasties and Quiches. Our range of Fruit Pies, Yorkshire Curds and Custards are also a Local Favourite.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our uncle Charles Dawson.
Charles and our father William built and developed our business into what you see today. Although Charles retired nearly 10 years ago he often called in to make sure we continued to do things ‘right’. He will be sadly missed.
Charles’s funeral takes place at York Crematorium at 1pm on Wednesday 18th September.
