The Pudding Lane franchise explains the benefits of the old-fashioned method in preparing puddings. The retail business has exhibited its puddings at Speciality and Fine Food Fair London, where the buzz words were ‘Food Miles’ and more importantly ‘Carbon Foot-prints’. The food and beverage business believes that its handmade method is environmental conscious, which has been followed for 100 years or more.
Pudding Lane’s reputation comes from the quality on the “boiled-in-the-cloth” method. The retail business selects the finest fruit and ingredients locally and mixes these ingredients by hand. The ingredients include fresh bread, a “wet-mix” of fresh butter, fresh eggs, brandy and then blend the mixture with hands.
The food and beverage business uses spoons to put the pudding mixture into lined boiling cloths. The retail business uses cloths that are actually “squares” of unbleached calico and are reused over and over to make many hundreds of puddings. If the calico square develops a small hole, then Pudding Lane will cut it down neatly to make smaller size of puddings.
