Honeybuns minis
Honeybuns minis: A little bit of what you fancy.
These dinky little numbers are ideal for lunchboxes, handbags, saving for later or enjoying as soon as the wrapper is off. The recipe is the same but they're just half the size. The "Big Boy" original size is still going strong but for those of you who do not want to blow the diet completely, they are ideal.
We have three varieties:
Snowy Hills • Heathcliffe Brownie • Cranberry and Pecan Flapjack.
They are available to all of our wholesale customers so should be in cafes and delis soon. They will also be available online direct from us in time for Christmas 2008!

Sainsbury's

We're on a mission to make it easier for you to buy our cakes. Our cute-as-a-button retail traybakes are available in selected Sainsbury's stores as far afield as Durham and Christchurch.

Bee reading the Big Questionnaire BIG QUESTIONNAIRE

Called "BIG" because there are a lot of questions on there. If you are pushed for time, please
just fill in what you can manage. We read all feedback and really do learn how to improve things. You'll also receive some complimentary minis once we receive your completed questionnaire. Just go to www.honeybuns.co.uk/feedback. We also draw a hamper winner each quarter. The latest winners were Mr and Mrs Rolls from Alweston.


Honeybuns at the NEC

We're on the South West England Pavilion and Trish and Em will be there each day with goody bags and samples. Do come and say HELLO. We'll be taking our minis, sweet retail trays and regular slices with us. 6th - 9th April.

Slaying dragons of waste and pollution.

HONEYBUNS is surrounded by natureLadybird - Honeybuns is surrounded by nature.

Since January, we've got cracking on lots more exciting wildlife friendly jobs. Willow has been planted up against many of the old farm buildings. Once established, this planting will offer cover to a host of birds and small mammals.

More nest boxes have been popped up in readiness for the breeding season. We've fitted one nest box with a live "nest box cam" which you can see online at www.honeybuns.co.uk/joaneycam. More trees are being planted in our back field along with wildlife friendly ground cover of blackthorn, quickthorn etc.

 


The Honeybuns running team are in training for their next physical bashing! We're running for Myleoma UK again in the Bath Half Marathon on 16th March. Rak, Mal, Matt, Em, Caroline, Nick, Sarah and Jo are all taking part. www.justgiving.com/bathhalf2008
