About Us

Huffkins scored a hat trick at the 2011 Great Taste Awards!! We are celebrating after winning three prestigious 2011 Great Taste Awards with a total of 5 gold stars awarded. The business has been presented with coveted ‘Gold’ Great Taste Awards for it’s delicious Cranberry and Cointreau fruitcake (available here online), fruit scones and Cotswold seeded bread loaf. 7481 products were entered from 1600 companies for the 2011 Great Taste Awards. It took 350 experts 34 days to blind taste all the entries and decide which entries would achieve the coveted one, two and three star gold awards. The Great Taste Awards judging standards, devised by the Guild of Fine Food, are the most rigorous in the UK. To achieve the 3-star rating a minimum of 20 -more often 30 - judges need to be in complete agreement that the food delivered that indefinable ‘wow’ factor - independent proof that Huffkins products are of the highest quality. 

We believe in 'simple things done well'. So, we hand make our breads, cakes and patisserie from scratch at our craft bakery in Burford and our tea rooms in Burford, Witney, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Cheltenham. We serve classic British dishes, freshly cooked to order, using the best possible local/seasonal ingredients. 

Family-owned, the business was established in about 1890 and employs around 90 skilled, full and part time members of staff including chefs, bakers, wait-staff and head office personnel. Our bakery supplies a number of local hotels, restaurants and deli's while our bakery shops supply freshly 'made to order' sandwich platters to local business's and groups.Our website currently supplies Huffkins goodies to the UK only....watch this space!
