stunning hand made sweets!
We have a superb selection of handmade boiled sweets, made especially for us by a traditional sweetmaker in Scotland (he’s amazing)… the flavours are to die for, and the colours are as bright and intense as gemstones. We offer old favourites like Violet Buds and Rhubarb and Custard, and more modern ones like Iron Brew Humbugs. They make stunning gifts!
