WHAT MAKES OUR BUNS SO SPECIAL?

We've been baking Chelsea buns since 1920 - and we're famous for it. We still bake them by hand, to the original, secret recipe - over 300,000 a year of them. Sticky, sweet and memorable, these buns are a must-try for visitors to Cambridge and a regular treat for many of the locals.

CHELSEA BUN FAQs

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.

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.

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.

Superb Chelsea Buns! The delivery included the Fitzbillies book which is fascinating, giving the history of its background, details of those who have created the company into what it has become, and amazing recipes which are written in an uncomplicated style.
Wonderful gift, highly recommend.

Delicious

Ordered the signed book with 4 buns but got 6 buns and unsigned book. No matter though as the book is lovely with lots of photos and the buns are yummy. Thank you!
