Hawkshead was the home town of Beatrix Potter, her husband’s legal offices can still be visited in the village and it has become synonymous with the timeless appeal of her children’s stories. Hawkshead is set amongst the gorgeous fell of the south Lake District to which visitors flock throughout the year, despite the famous weather! They come here for different reasons, but the quality and variety of local food and produce is high on the list of most who visit.

The Honeypot is situated in the centre of this beautiful town. It has been trading for over 100 years, sharing its birthday with Peter Rabbit and his friends! Fiona Wilson and her family are proud to have run the business for the last 12 years; in this time Fiona has sourced the finest local speciality foods and gifts, many of which now bear the Honeypot’s own label.

Many of the products that we stock are unique to this area, most were made in the Lake District.
