A woman went to Fox’s biscuit factory store and couldn’t believe the prices.
We all know Brits love biscuits, especially with a cup of tea. And Fox’s is one of the UK’s most well known biscuit brands with its Party Rings, Golden Crunch Creams, Half-Coated Milk Chocolate Cookies and more.
So a mum went on the “ultimate biscuit road trip” as she drove longer than an hour to go to the Fox’s factory outlet shop located in Batley, West Yorkshire. She picked up some huge bargains and chronicled the experience in a video on TikTok.
The woman, known as hotglueandhiccups on TikTok, said: “A biscuit-lover’s dream. Fox’s factory store deals you won’t believe, let’s go. We hit the road from Manchester and made it to Batley in just one hour and fifteen minutes, yet this was the ultimate biscuit road trip and trust me, it was worth every single mile.”
Tucked away behind the factory, the Fox’s biscuit store is “filled with absolute steals”. You can pick up bags and boxes of your favourite biscuits that are “slightly imperfect in looks but perfectly tasty.”
The clip shows White Chocolate Rounds for 80p, a 500g bag full of Milk Chocolate Coronet Top biscuits for £1.50, a 500g bag of Stem Ginger Cookies for £1.50. What’s more, the mum mentioned there were “Party Rings in yard boxes for £1.”
She likened the store to a “secret stash of sweet heaven” and added: “Biscuits, bargains and a brew when we got home. Now that’s a proper day out.”
The mum then broke down what she picked up and how much it cost her. She noted: “First up their White Chocolate Rounds. Usually in a shop they’ll retail for £2.25 and you don’t really get too many in there.
“We paid just £1.50 and look at the size of that up. Next up their honeycomb creams, oh my God when I tell you these are gorgeous these are amazing.
“I’ve never tried them before, usually £2.50 in store and we got this bag full for £1.50.”
Next the biscuit lover bought the infamous Fox’s infamous Jam’n’ Cream biscuits which are typically around 90p in store for a pack of 150g but she got a big bag for £1.50 which she described as “amazing value”.
The final treat she bought was the Party Rings in yard boxes that are usually £3.29 – but she bagged them for just £1 each.
At the end of her TikTok video, she held up her receipt which revealed she spent only £7.60 altogether on five different packets of biscuits. What a bargain!
Hotglueandhiccups’ TikTok video, uploaded three days ago, has garnered 598,100 views, 18,700 likes and more than 500 comments so far. One user said: “We went last Thursday. It was fab. We were like a kid in a biscuit shop lol, definitely worth a visit.
Another added: “I’m only in Leeds like half [an] hour away! This video has convinced me I need to finally go!”
A third chimed in: “It’s hit and miss, it’s not far from us. Sometimes when we go we just get one thing and other times we get a few (for family too).”
Fox’s dates back to 1853 when Michael Spedding baked his very first batch of brandy snaps, selling them to shows, shops and traders from his Batley bakery.
Over the years, Fox’s has become synonymous with high-quality biscuits, offering a wide range of products, and in 2022 it merged with Burton’s Biscuits, bringing two classic biscuit brands together, according to the website.
The Fox’s Biscuits factory store can be found on Wellington Street, Batley WF17 5JE. It is open to the public with no membership needed.
