Chelsea Bun ... Chelsey Bunn House' in Jew's Row. It was customary in the early days for members of the Royal Family and upper classes to visit the Bunn House in the morning to enjoy coffee and Chelsea buns. The bun is made of a rich yeast dough flavoured with lemon peel, cinnamon or a sweet spice mixture. Prior to being rolled into a square spiral shape the dough is spread with a mixture of currants, brown sugar and butter. A sweet glaze covering is added before the rolled-up dough is sliced into individual buns and baked. The process of making this bun is very similar to that involved in producing the cinnamon roll.

The Chelsea Bun, a popular yeast based currant bun that was originally made in Bun House, Chelsea during the 18th century. The Chelsea bun seems to be a little outdated nowadays and I have tripped into countless Bakers shops to find that they are no longer on the shelves. The bakers seem to have sidelined some of the traditional recipes in favour of current trends. I notice that the muffin has moved into pole position, I must admit that some of the fruit muffins (especially the Blueberry) look most unappetising, but the chocolate muffins are fabulous! We have a small independent local Bakers shop which still sells Chelsea buns. As I said ...  Read the complete review

Yes the Chelsea bun does originate from Chelsea although it can be bough nation wide now .It is thought that the Chelsea bun was first made in the Chelsea bun house on or near Grovesnor Row or Jew’s Row. This bun shop was making Chelsea buns from the mid 17th early the shop closed in 1839 when it closed. This shop was visited by many including royalty, king Georges 11 and 111 on route to the nearby Ranelagh Pleasure Gardens. Availability Now I must admit to liking a Chelsea bun. I either buy mine from Tesco’s or the local bakers and I have even made my own. Chelsea buns seem to be available at all bakers and supermarkets. The price for a pack of 4 ...  Read the complete review

Very Tasty unhealthy

nice enough taste not as firm as the others

Brilliant flavour and quality expensive to purchase

so nice to eat and meat falls apart fairly expensive at £1.99 or £2.99 depending on the size of tin you purchase.

Chocolates from Thorntons, generally a fail safe buy. Peppermint and fudge - it just doesn't work!

Brings back memories. Extremely high in sugar.
