Welcome to the Home of the Bedfordshire Clanger!

One of the last places in the country to bake the local delicacy!

Probably our best-known product!

Not only have we been making these for 50 years but we have also seen their popularity soar over the last decade.
National consumer interest in local, historic and interesting foods have led to appearances by Television and Radio to uncover the history and background of the clanger.

The Bedfordshire clanger was originally the food of farm labourers. A suet pudding with a meat filling, portable cold or eaten hot on returning home. They were considered affordable, filling and very calorific. As the pudding could be left simmering away all day, ready for the family's evening return, it suited an area where many of the women were employed outside the home in the 19th century.

For centuries hungry fieldworkers all over the county have tucked into their Bedfordshire Clangers as their lunchtime snack. We are very proud to have produced the Bedfordshire Clanger for the last 50 years, maintaining the tradition and supplying the county with a little taste of history.

Like the good old days we make our clangers using the same ingredients with suet pastry and a combination of savoury and sweet fillings at either end of the clanger.

We of course do a Clanger for all you vegetarians, which is Vegetarian suet pastry rather then gammon ... delicious!
