Max Delivery Cost* - £9.99 *more info

In the past, bakers would have sourced many ingredients from their local area. We use linseed meal grown and processed by Durwin Banks & his family at Barns Green in West Sussex. It was this fine product, with its delicious nutty flavour, that inspired Lesley to create her range of biscuits. Delicious served plain or with cheese. Since the 1980s there has been a magnificent revival in the production of artisan-made British cheese. Sussex cheesemakers are part of this success story, so it seemed fitting to create a distinctive, sweet Sussex biscuit that would complement their fine products.

Richard Fuller was a resident of Chichester between 1759 & 1842. In the south alley of Chichester Cathedral�s cloisters there are two wall monuments dedicated to Richard & members of his family. His cellar book & his daughter-in-law Maria�s book of recipes were the inspiration for our range of oat-based Chichester biscuits called Sussex Alberts. Within this group we have our Christmas biscuits, called Twelfth Nights, which are made to celebrate old Sussex traditions like the sharing of the wassail bowl on New Year�s eve, and visits from the tipteerers to entertain neighbours during the long, cold winter�s nights. These delicious biscuits can be enjoyed on their own or with cheese � they are particularly good with blue cheese.

His cellar book & his daughter-in-law Maria�s book of recipes were the inspiration for our range of Chichester biscuits called Sussex Alberts. In Maria Fuller�s handwritten cookery book, which she began in the early 1830s, she transcribed a number of recipes, which contained spices. These biscuits contain two of them: cayenne pepper (very popular with cooks in the 19th century), and allspice (a mainstay of all spice canisters of the time), and are the perfect partner for any cheese.

Founded by Lesley Ward in 2013 the Horsham Gingerbread Bakehouse produces distinctively delicious gingerbreads and gluten-free biscuits.

The town of Horsham in West Sussex was once famous for its gingerbread production. It was the notion of reviving this fame and her vast collection of historic, handwritten recipes that inspired Lesley to develop her range of products.

Baked in small batches at a family bakery near Chichester in West Sussex, all of the gingerbreads and biscuits are made with the finest natural and locally sourced ingredients.
