The Bakewell Pudding is a true Derbyshire classic and our signature creation.
Made using the original, verified recipe from the 1800s, our pudding is crafted by hand just as it always has been. A delicate puff-pastry base is layered with sweet homemade jam and topped with a rich almond frangipane-style filling that bakes to a golden, buttery finish.
Unlike the later Bakewell tart, the pudding has a softer texture and a deeper, more indulgent flavour. Every pudding we bake honours centuries of tradition, with no shortcuts, no modern tweaks — just the same time-honoured method that made it famous.
A true taste of Bakewell’s heritage, made fresh in Derbyshire and enjoyed around the world.
The Bakewell Tart is a beloved evolution of the traditional pudding
A crisp shortcrust pastry case filled with raspberry jam, almond sponge (frangipane), and often topped with flaked almonds or icing. Firmer and more structured than the pudding, the tart offers a perfect balance of buttery pastry, sweet fruit, and warm almond notes.
Our tarts follow classic techniques and are hand-baked using quality ingredients, giving them a deep flavour and a beautifully light texture. Whether served warm with cream or enjoyed as an everyday treat, this timeless pastry has a place in every bakery — and every dessert plate.
A British favourite made with skill, tradition, and a touch of indulgence.
