Frequently asked questions

Why are hot cross buns eaten on Good Friday?
The cross on the bun is a Christian symbol representing the crucifixion. Traditionally eaten on Good Friday (the Friday before Easter), they were believed to have special properties. Today they appear in shops from January, but the tradition of baking fresh ones on Good Friday morning is well worth keeping.
