Natalie Tate, Product Developer says: “Our team travelled the USA in search of the best bagel recipe to deliver the signature chewy, sweet taste. They found a traditional recipe in Seattle that was proved for 16 hours, that would give us a bagel like no other found in UK supermarkets, move over NYC it’s all about the Seattle bagel … we’re so excited for customers to try them!” You'll find us first in line.
