Puddings

We came across the Plum Duff & Stuff stall at the Bath Christmas market and decided to treat ourselves to a Christmas pudding. Turned out to be the best Xmas pud we have ever had! It was really moist but not stodgy and we loved the fact it contained sustainable palm oil too.
We will definitely be back for more this year! Xmas won’t be the same without one of these from now on.
See you in Dec Wizz!

We just wanted to say that we’re thrilled that we bought a gluten free, dairy free pudding from you at Crowcombe for the first time and, with all our multiple allergy family here at Christmas, it was a huge success and really delicious and extremely popular. So a big thank you and well done.
We’ll be back next year!

Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say I bought one of your Traditional Christmas Pud at Hestercombe House Christmas Market. Myself & my family agree it was the best Christmas Pud we have tasted. Absolutely delicious, thank you!
— Paula Olney, Somerset
Jenny cooked up an amazing meal and to top it off served one of your Plum Duffs. Wow!! I haven’t had Christmas pudding since I moved here from England over 35 years ago. And I didn’t like it much in the first place. But yours was absolutely amazing, and for someone who’s not that into desserts, I was a member of the clean-plate-club!
I just wanted to drop you a line and congratulate you on a magnificent creation and I have to figure out a way to make sure I get one for next Christmas. And then I just noticed that you make marmalade and I can only guess how good that is. So on my next visit to England I may well seek you out for some marmalade!
Congratulations!!

Yet again, a really delicious pudding very much enjoyed by all, including my ma-in-law who reckoned not to like Christmas pudding until she tried yours!

I purchased one of your gluten free puddings to have at Christmas with a great friend who is gluten free. It was absolutely delicious! She is a huge Christmas pudding connoisseur and she couldn’t tell it was gluten free. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also her dream to find a pudding wrapped in calico, as no one does it properly these days and the fabric is usually just for show.

Hi – we bought one of your christmas puddings at the Bath Christmas markets and just wanted to let you know that its one of the best we’ve ever had, including many home-made ones! Absolutely delicious.

Marmalade

Hello, only wanted to say that your marmalade is the best I have ever, ever had
— Dorothea, Reading
Your marmalade is delicious! I make my own but ran out at some point. Knowing my next batch was not going to be possible for a week or two, a friend pointed me to yours at Pynes of Somerset “the only one to be consumed if it is not homemade” she said. And I agree.
— Helen, North Petherton, Somerset
We visited the Bath Christmas market this year and bought 3 jars of your Traditional Marmalade. Little did we know quite how delicious it was going to be – wonderful flavour (just right) and a perfect consistency – in fact it is probably the best marmalade we have ever sampled. We have many home produce farm shops and markets where we live but nothing that we have tried to date compares with yours.
— Christine, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire
Joy of joys – five jars of your delicious marmalade are now safely stowed away in my store cupboard!
