Chelsea Buns

Ever since Ernest and Arthur Mason founded Fitzbillies back in 1920, using their demob money from the First World War, we’ve been making our iconic Chelsea buns. That’s more than 100 years spent perfecting the perfect bake and an indulgent amount of sticky sweetness – a taste that keeps loyal Fitzbillies customers coming back for more.

Fitzbillies Chelsea Buns are made from a sweet bun dough, rolled up with a mixture of currants, brown sugar and spices and cut to give their distinctive spiral shape. After careful baking, they’re slathered with our special bun syrup to make them extra sweet and sticky.

And whether you’re just around the corner from us in Cambridge or live at the other end of the country, you can get your Fitzbillies fix wherever you are by ordering our Chelsea buns online. From classic Chelsea buns with nothing else added to luxury gift hampers where our iconic sweet treat is the star, we’ve got a selection of Chelsea bun gifts for all tastes and budgets.
