The idea behind The Pudding Shop

The Pudding Shop display of puddings at a Farmers Market

Following a life long love of cooking and in particular a desire to cook excellent quality traditional food, Don & Dorothy Bridges developed the idea for ‘Mrs Bridges Traditional’ (our original name!).

With the lack of quality traditionally cooked British Puddings to be found, Dorothy soon began cooking her famous Traditional Steamed Puddings at home. At Farmers Markets & Events we soon became known by our customers as The Pudding Shop, hence its name today.



The Pudding Shop manufacturing process

Having retired to Upton on Seven in Worcestershire Don and Dorothy began supplying their puddings at Farmers Markets in the region. Demand soon grew so our kitchen had to grow also! Daughter Justine has now joined Mom and Dad to help production along the way.

Constantly Growing

People return to the Food Festivals or Farmers Markets time after time to buy our Steamed Puddings and award winning Christmas Puddings. And to serve this growing marketplace, the Pudding Shop’s website has been born.

It is most encouraging to hear some of the comments of our regular and new customers, in fact many of these customers are now good friends who often help us in developing new flavours !

Consumer Satisfaction
