Our Story
Fosters Foods first began selling fine biscuits to independent retailers from a single van over 45 years ago. Since then we have forged an excellent reputation for blending that experience with an ability to source truly innovative and high quality products, including cutting edge gifting.
As many of you might have heard the exciting news, we are delighted to announce that Cottage Delight Limited have made an agreement to purchase Fosters Foods from Moguntia Food Limited.
‘In 2024, Cottage Delight is celebrating its 50-year anniversary by looking forward to the next 50 years. We have invested to build a more efficient operation, and more sustainable product. This acquisition allows us to grow our range and our sales to make the most of this investment and we are very happy to do this with such an established brand.’ – Vickie Milligan, Managing Director @ Cottage Delight.
Cottage Delight was founded in 1974, originally creating handmade butter fudge. Over the subsequent years Cottage Delight range grew to include jams, marmalades, curds, chutneys, table sauces and many more delectable delights. Five delicious decades later, we are still residing at our home in the heart of the Staffordshire Moorlands and continue to create our original fudge recipe today. Our incredible journey would not have been possible without the support of the independent trade and we remain loyal to these local retailers.
We’ve come a long way since 1974, although our artisan methods have not changed since our cottage kitchen beginnings, the world has. The new look of our jars marks a renewed commitment to a sustainable future whilst still retaining our signature home-made taste of Cottage Delight. Here’s to the next 50!
