Haywood & Padgett

In 1987, our founders Wayne Padgett and David Haywood could be found in a small rented kitchen hand-rolling 100 scones a day to sell on a market stall in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

We’ve been baking the traditional scones that our customers love for over 35 years. As well as our classic flavours like sultana, derby and devon scones, we also develop seasonal lines such as caramel, chocolate and lemon & sultana scones. We also supply ranges of bespoke scones specifically for retailers.

Our scones were a hit, and supermarkets began stocking them throughout Yorkshire and, later on, throughout the rest of the UK. Over 30 years later, Haywood & Padgett Ltd is now the UK’s largest scone manufacturer producing around 6 million scones a week and employing more than 180 people.
