Hello Everyone,
November is here and I can now talk about the 25th of December!
Quite a bit is happening here at Compton McRae, although you won’t have seen too many visible changes just yet.
So a bit more of an update ….
Compton McRae News
The Marquee
Because the Marquee is now here until Christmas, we have set it up to make it as warm and cosy as possible – a new wood burner; seat covers and blankets plus our overhead heaters – please ask the team if you need help turning them on.
The Old Bookshop
During November and December you will see a range of amazing pop ups – follow us on Instagram and social media to see who and what is on show.
Compton McRae Bakery
It’s getting closer – I hate to give an exact date for the opening! Chris, our Head Baker starts this week and after he tests and sets up the Bakery Kitchen we will have a Compton McRae range for sale in the deli. Again watch our social media for updates – follow us here!
New Packaging Design
You may have noticed our refreshed labelling on some of our jar products – over the coming weeks we will be changing over to the new designs. Same great tasting products but a fresh look, thank you again to Millie from @millienielseldesign and all those involved with the design process.

New Products on the Compton McRae shelves
Lakrids by Bülow – New Range
-
Classic Caramel – It is hard to imagine a more winning combination than when sweet liquorice meets soft dulce chocolate. Now add a grain of crispy flakes of sea salt just to tickle your taste buds.
-
Crispy Raspberry – Deep sweetness and freshness unite when you bite. A core of sweet liquorice spun in white chocolate and the fruity notes of tiny pink raspberry flakes, with a hint of strawberry for a finishing touch. All wrapped up like a present in a satisfyingly crackling, crispy red sugar shell.
-
Frozen Mint – Will make sure that you get to enjoy a fresh and white winter. Treat yourself to sweet liquorice and soft milk chocolate with a hint of mint. A crispy shell of white sparkling sugar will make you think of white, freshly fallen snow.
Compton McRae Christmas Range is here – all your favourite essentials!
Our Christmas shelf goods have started arriving – Panettones, Nougat, Cantucci, Amaretti, chocolate cigars and more. Pop in and have a look!
Diggle Chocolates – these chocolates are handmade from start to finish. Each truffle is lovingly made by hand from a little kitchen in south London. No nasty preservatives, only the finest fresh ingredients, this gives the chocolates a shorter shelf life but makes them oh so much more delicious…
