Chelsea Bun FAQs
Our Chelsea buns can be frozen in an airtight container upon arrival. Simply defrost fully prior to eating. We suggest following the Serving & Storage suggestions that arrive with the buns, which advise how best to heat Chelsea Buns individually in the microwave once defrosted. Chelsea Bun syrup should be stored at room temperature, in an airtight container.
In short, yes!Our Chelsea buns are best consumed on day of arrival and will last up-to 7 days but they can be microwaved to 'revive' them but we only recommend doing so one bun at a time and for 20 seconds on a medium heat.
As well as our original, bestselling Chelsea buns, we also offer bake at home buns for fresh-from-the-oven deliciousness. For special occasions, we have Chelsea bun cakes, Chelsea bun number cakes and trays of buns, perfect for parties. There’s also various seasonal flavours to enjoy, and for Cambridge locals you can visit our cafés for our famous Chelsea bun ice cream.
