  Frank's Luxury Biscuits are a family run bakery, still using a recipe that is four generations old. The bakery is based in Herefordshire, and provides a nationwide delivery service of biscuits and cakes, and a variety of other products.

   

  The business was first established in December 2002, when Frank took early retirement, began baking biscuits in the home kitchen and sold them in local outlets. Within six months the business had increased to such a degree that Frank and his wife Lesley were forced to begin looking for alternative premises. However, they did not have to spend any time looking as they were offered a share of an industrial kitchen less than half a mile from their home.

   

  With Frank's quality has always come first. That is why everything that they bake is handmade, using no added preservatives, and above all, only the finest natural ingredients.
