After all those hours slaving away in the kitchen, you’re going to want to show off what you’ve made, aren’t you? Stir it up! Stir Up Sunday is on its way – it falls on Sunday 20 November this year.

We sell three different sizes: a 0.6 litre bowl for just 75p, a 1.2 litre bowl for £1 and a 2 litre bowl for £1.30. Sweet prices! Want to discover more about the origins of Stir Up Sunday?
