Taste and Tell - hot cross buns

We have a hot cross bun to tempt every taste bud…

For lovers of local, those from our bakers Gadsby’s may take your fancy. For those partial to a sweeter treat, Co-op Irresistible hot cross buns are the ones for you.

We tried ours toasted with salted butter and here’s what we thought:

Gadsby’s hot cross buns £1:

Emma S said - “This is light and not too overwhelming with spicing. It’s a nice one to have in your lunchbox.”

Sophie said: - “Perfect for me, not too sweet and not too savoury”

Hannah said: - “Wow, this is one hearty hot cross bun! It’s filling and nice to eat. I’d pack it in a picnic to keep me fuelled for the day, or it would be a great snack for little mouths to munch on.”

Co-op Irresistible sourdough richly fruited hot cross buns £1.25:

Emma S said: - “This is really rich and tasty. Delicious. Perhaps one more for an adults’ palate though.”

Sophie said: - “Definitely one to have after tea with a nice strong brew.”

Hannah said: - “Absolutely delicious – there’s a hint of warm spices and fruit which makes it very tasty. They’re a little on the smaller side though, so I’d enjoy these as an after dinner treat.”

And so it’s decided! For a richer flavour and taste of luxury stick with Co-op Irresistible, but if you want to add some punch to your pack up - go for Gadsby’s.
