Crawford's, the classic tea box biscuits

A Scottish biscuit factory dating back to 1813

Crawford's was founded in 1813 in Leith, the port of Edinburgh, by baker William Crawford. It is one of the oldest biscuit brands in the United Kingdom. It specialises in classic, affordable biscuits, perfect for enjoying with tea.

The three classics

• Custard Creams : two vanilla biscuits, decorated with embossed patterns, with a custard-flavoured cream. They are a favourite among the British.
• Bourbon Creams : two chocolate biscuits and a cocoa cream.
• Garibaldi : thin biscuits filled with currants, nicknamed "squashed fly biscuits" by English schoolchildren.
