Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Puddings

Aunt Bessie's is a household name in the United Kingdom, famously known for its frozen Yorkshire puddings and potato products. The brand originated from the Tryton Foods business, part of the William Jackson Food Group, which began producing frozen Yorkshire puddings in bulk for the catering trade in the 1970s. The 'Aunt Bessie' character was introduced in 1995 to give the brand a homely, traditional feel as it expanded into the retail consumer market.

While the brand was a cornerstone of the William Jackson Food Group for many years, it was acquired by Nomad Foods in 2018. This acquisition successfully brought Aunt Bessie's under the same corporate umbrella as other iconic frozen food brands like Birdseye and Findus. Today, the products are primarily manufactured in the United Kingdom, specifically at facilities in Hull, ensuring the brand maintains its British heritage.

The ultimate owner, Nomad Foods, is Europe's largest frozen food company. Headquartered in the United Kingdom and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Nomad Foods focuses on buildling a portfolio of market-leading frozen food brands across Western Europe. Aunt Bessie's remains a leader in the frozen roast dinner accompaniment category, consistently associated with convenience and traditional British cuisine.
