About Us
One family. Five generations. One enduring passion for joy-filled food.
At Cartwright & Butler, great taste is in our genes. Our family has been creating the most exceptional teatime treats for more than 115 years, and the standards set in our kitchen of a terraced house in Yorkshire are still what guide us today. Cartwright & Butler is built on a passion for food that puts a smile on your face. We don’t do low fat, won’t count calories and we’ll never compromise on taste. We’re all about the butteriest, the creamiest and the crumbliest, because that’s what makes good food great. The world might have changed since the seeds of our business were planted in 1900's. But what we stand for hasn’t. The very best tasting treats that create moments of joy every single day.
