Ready Brek Original porridge oats

Ready Brek is a well-known brand of oat-based breakfast cereal, famous for its finely milled texture that creates a smooth porridge when mixed with hot milk. Originally launched in the United Kingdom in 1957 by J. Lyons & Co., the brand became iconic through its advertisements featuring a "glow" around characters who had eaten the warm porridge for breakfast.

Over the decades, the brand has transitioned through several major food corporations. After being owned by Lyons and later Allied Domecq, it was acquired by Weetabix Limited. In 2017, Post Holdings, Inc., a major American consumer packaged goods holding company, purchased the Weetabix Food Company. Today, Ready Brek continues to be produced primarily in the United Kingdom, specifically at manufacturing sites in Northamptonshire, maintaining its status as a British breakfast staple under American parent ownership.
