Our Makers

Ask Mummy & Daddy was founded by Kane Dowell, in 2017. He wanted to create a range of premium, high-concept sweets that were perfect to give as gift boxes. 

Initially a side hustle, Ask Mummy & Daddy grew organically as word of mouth spread and customer numbers grew. Now the company is a full-time operation with our own production, marketing and events teams.

Since the start in 2012, Candy Kittens has been on a journey and has evolved into a 100% vegan brand that can be now be found across UK & the world.

Developed by their team in London, they blend big flavours with honest ingredients to bring you sweets that taste as great as they look. No compromises.

Using vegan recipes, they use only the best ingredients for you and the planet, so you can feel good while satisfying your sweet craving.

"Our philosophy from the start has been to place strong emphasis on the quality of our goods and our customer service."

'For the ones who can't, don't or won't eat eggs'

Crackd is owned by Plant Heads which has been set up as a stand-alone Joint Venture between the chefs at Bingham & Jones and Sarah Dean (owner of Noble Foods). Jonny Bingham & David Jones have run their own successful food development business for a number of years, and have previously created many other vegan products within that market. They were acutely aware of the growth in the plant-based food market and had the skillset required to develop alternatives that did not compromise on taste.

For Peter's Yard, 'Good things take time'. This is why they make crispbreads in small batches.

We are proud to stock Peter’s Yard within our hampers. They craft their products within small batches, and without cutting corners to ensure their award winning flavour and crunch. Their most important ingredient is time. Everything begins with their 45 year-old sourdough starter, fermented for 16 hours. They then allow time for each cracker to cook and to cool to irresistible crispness, this is time well spent.

White Heron have over 140 years’ experience in growing the finest blackcurrant and raspberries, and transforming them into luxury liqueurs.

Their farm, the Whittern Estate is nestled in the rolling hills of North Herefordshire. Once a mixed arable farm, the family chose to take the road less travelled: cultivating blackcurrants, a quintessential flavour of the British countryside. Their blackcurrant liqueur is intensely fruity, whilst not being too sweet and their raspberry liqueur is as vibrant in taste as it is colour.
