Our Story
About Us
We’re a second generation family business, but really we’ve been going much longer than that. From great grandad’s horse and cart travelling shop, to the grocery granny and grandad ran together, there’s always been an entrepreneurial streak in our family.
We’re fiercely proud to carry on this tradition today and bring granny’s much loved homemade recipes to a whole new generation.
