The ultra-sticky Chelsea buns are Fitzbillies most famous and most popular product since 1920.
They bake them by hand 362 days a year (Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day are their only days off), starting at 4 in the morning, so the buns are ready when we open at 8am.
There are 40 buns in a tray of Chelseas.
On a busy day they make 20 trays - that’s 800 buns.
In Easter week, they made 100 trays - that’s 4000 buns
Last year they made around 160,000 Chelsea buns
Head Baker, Gill Abbs joined the business in 1971, 50 years ago, and Fitzbillies estimate that in that time she has made 5 million buns - enough to stretch from Cambridge to the International Space Station.
