From village greens and afternoon tea to the comforting ritual of a proper biscuit break, St George’s Day (23rd April) is the perfect moment to celebrate everything we love about being British. And what better way to mark the occasion than with the timeless flavours of Cartwright & Butler—where Great British classics are crafted with tradition, care, and a touch of indulgence.
From time-honoured teatime treats to sweet delights, the Great British Collection brings together the very best of classic flavours.
Think buttery biscuits, rich chocolate creations, and traditional fudge – all beautifully presented and made to delight. Whether you’re hosting an afternoon tea or simply treating yourself, these quintessentially British favourites offer an effortless way to celebrate.
A standout in the collection is the indulgent trio of confectionery, featuring chocolate-coated raisins, dark chocolate coffee beans, and smooth whisky fudge – a nostalgic nod to Britain’s love of sweet treats.
Or embrace the ritual of afternoon tea with crumbly biscuits paired with robust English Breakfast tea – a timeless combination that captures the essence of British tradition. Or our personal favourite, the Triple Chocolate Chunk Biscuits.
Rooted in East Yorkshire, joy-filled food has been at the heart of Cartwright & Butler for over 115 years. As Head of Marketing Naomi McCann says: “Cartwright & Butler is the home of quintessentially British teatime treats with an affordable price tag, allowing every home to enjoy a touch of classic British luxury.”
However you celebrate, do it with a touch of British charm.
