Figgy’s Handmade Christmas Puddings
A Proper Pudding, Handmade with Love
127 miles from Forage Farm Shop
This month at Forage, we’re shining the spotlight on Figgy’s Handmade Christmas Puddings. Beautifully traditional, richly flavoured, and made just as you would at home. Based in Devon, Figgy’s is run by husband-and-wife team Jo and Richie Evans, who have turned their family recipe into one of the most celebrated puddings in the country.
What began as a small festive project in their kitchen back in 2007 quickly grew after friends and family couldn’t get enough of their delicious Christmas puddings. One Christmas, they decided to sell a few – and the rest, as they say, is history.
What Makes Figgy’s Puddings So Special
Unlike most mass-produced puddings, Figgy’s Handmade Christmas Puddings are light, moist and open-textured, so you’ll still have room to enjoy a generous slice after your roast dinner. Each pudding is handmade in small batches, using Somerset Cider Brandy and Hanlons Port Stout – both award-winning local products.
The care and craft that go into every pudding are clear from the first bite. Figgy’s use only free-range eggs from a local farm, freshly made breadcrumbs from an artisan bakery, and glacé cherries coloured naturally with fruit juice. No shortcuts, no fads – just a proper pudding, made the old-fashioned way.
Award-Winning Taste and Tradition
Since launching, Figgy’s has won over 30 fine food awards, making their puddings among the most decorated in the UK. But what truly sets them apart, much like Forage, is their commitment to quality over quantity. Jo and Richie still make every pudding by hand themselves, ensuring that each one tastes just as good as the last.
Their family recipe has stood the test of time, and it’s still made with the same care and attention that first made their puddings famous.
A Business that Gives Back
Beyond their incredible baking, Figgy’s are also dedicated to supporting their community.
Each Christmas, they donate puddings to St Petroc’s, a local charity supporting people who are homeless or vulnerably housed. It’s a small but meaningful gesture that reflects the heart of their business – generosity, care, and tradition.
