Everything is hand-chopped, hand-mixed, hand-shaped and hand-packaged. We ‘third’ cook them, with the final two thirds of cooking to be done on the day. Leaving them part-cooked allows flavours to develop, giving the gooey texture and rich toffee aromas for which our puddings are famed. Our family and banquet-size puddings come in traditional porcelain bowls, a rarity these days.
