Our History

Steeped in Derbyshire history, our Bakewell Pudding is still made by hand using the only original verified recipe from the 1800s, which remains a secret. We are proud to be contributing to the preservation of Bakewell’s legacy by continuing to manufacture this special dessert.

 

Our unique Pudding comprises a crunchy, buttery puff pastry case layered with seedless strawberry jam and topped with a soft-set silky custard of ground almonds, egg and sugar and is the proud recipient of a Great Taste award.

​

The world-renowned Bakewell Tart is also handmade to a traditional recipe. The shortcrust pastry case is filled with seedless strawberry jam and a pale, fluffy frangipane, topped with either fondant icing and a cherry or with flaked almonds.
