Cartwright & Butler Information

Cartwright & Butler is a family-owned, speciality food and beverage brand based in Yorkshire, England that's known for creating outstanding teatime luxuries. We champion British traditions and bring a spirit of indulgence and occasion to today's teatime treats. We seek out the best bakers and finest confectioners to make our products to unique and exacting recipes and create our own preserves, chutneys and curds. At the heart of the Cartwright & Butler brand is a tradition of family bakers that spans five generations. Gordon Arnett bought his first bakery in Hull in 1940. After the war, he invested in a charming, double-fronted shop in Beverley which he ceremoniously named 'The Cake Shop'. The business grew and the family went on to run a series of successful bakeries, finally selling the last of their production facilities to Finsbury Foods in 2008. That's when a new passion for teatime treats was born. Spotting an opportunity to bring something different to the market, the Arnett family acquired the Cartwright & Butler brand and a new era was born. Today, Cartwright & Butler is a £15 million brand that sells in over 40 countries worldwide. From the shelves of premium retailers such as Harrods, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols, to food halls, farm shops, and leisure destinations across the country and in duty-free shops from London to Seoul, Cartwright & Butler's range of teatime treats delights millions of customers every year.
