Bells of Lazonby has launched ‘single serve’ We Love Cake portions into Central Foods – expanding its foodservice presence with a new range of individually wrapped cake slices designed for the out-of-home sector.
Produced by the family-run bakery – which this year celebrates 80 years in business – the single-serve slices have been developed to meet operator demand for convenient, pre-portioned sweet treats that deliver on both inclusivity and ease of service.
Available in Chocolate Orange and Raspberry Ripple, the slices are gluten, wheat and milk free, offering operators a simple way to cater for a broader range of dietary requirements without adding complexity to menus.
The individually wrapped format also supports grab-and-go and impulse-led occasions, particularly in high-footfall environments where speed and consistency are key.
The launch gives Central Foods’ customer base, spanning pubs, cafés, garden centres and contract caterers, access to a ready-to-serve free-from option that requires no preparation and helps minimise waste.
The move marks a strategic step for We Love Cake as it continues to grow its footprint within foodservice, leveraging Central Foods’ nationwide distribution network to drive availability across multiple channels.
Josh Boydell-Smith, Head of Marketing at Bells of Lazonby, said: “Launching the single serve into Central Foods is a significant step in strengthening our presence across UK foodservice. We’re seeing clear demand from operators for products that are both commercially efficient and inclusive, and these single-serve slices have been designed to deliver on both.
They offer a simple, ready-to-serve solution that reduces labour and waste, while still meeting the expectations of today’s consumers for high-quality, free-from sweet treats. Central Foods are a trusted partner, allowing us reach a much wider foodservice audience.”
We Love Cake is the free-from brand from Bells of Lazonby, a Cumbrian bakery with heritage dating back to 1946. Manufactured in a dedicated free-from facility, the range is gluten, wheat and milk free and is supplied across both retail and foodservice channels in the UK.
The new single-serve slices are available now via Central Foods for food service and wholesale.
