Fitzbillies

Fitzbillies is a Cambridge-based bakery and café with a focus on traditional English afternoon tea and baked goods, according to its website. Founded in 1920, the company has seen several changes in ownership and is currently run by Alison Wright and Tim Hayward. Their website offers a range of options for customers to order goods for collection or delivery, including their signature product, the Chelsea bun. This sweet, gooey treat is made by hand in the company’s Cambridge bakery, a fact highlighted on the website as part of the company’s commitment to artisan, handmade goods. The online store also sells hampers and gifts containing various Fitzbillies products. Similarly, a separate category for ‘Gifts By Occasion’ suggests the company’s aim to cater for specific events or celebrations. Fitzbillies also offers specialty cakes that can be collected or sent. The website doesn’t elaborate on the process for ordering these cakes, but it does hint at the possibility of bespoke designs and flavours.
