Best Bakery Product
Sponsored by: Cranswick
Cranswick is part of Great British farming heritage, renowned for delivering traditional products of the highest quality.
Authenticity, craftsmanship and great taste are the values are at the core of our business.
Cranswick began in 1975, when a group of East Yorkshire farmers joined together to mill pig feed, ensuring a focus on high quality and efficient production.
Our beginnings were humble but our ambitions were not. In the 1980s, Cranswick moved into food production, giving us one of the first ‘farm to fork’ offerings.
Today, Cranswick is one of the largest food producers in Britain, but we’ve stayed true to our simple ethos – to create authentically made British food, without compromise. Using the skills of artisans and the dedication of generations of craftsmanship, we make great, tasty food. For more information visit www.cranswick.plc.uk
