forfars bakery

Forfars Fresh (and our owners - The Cutress family) have been keeping the people of Sussex fed and watered for around 500 years now!!
As such there is a lot of history to tell you about, and for a brief snap shot of what has happened over years we have but together a brief history.
The environment we work in, especially that of Sussex, is very important to us as such we have undertaken many initiatives to put what we can back into the local environment.
Also, being a family business we take great pride in the wonderful team of people of work in all the areas of Forfars, we are also always on the look out for new team members.

History

history-image

Before Forfars even existed the Cutress family (owners of Forfars since 1936) had been milling and baking Sussex since the 1500s!

There is a story which tells of a miller giving shelter to Oliver Cromwell in The Cutress Windmill in an area just to the north of Brighton.

The Cutress' association with Brighton and the surrounding area as some of the finest millers and bakers continued until the last working mill and bakery was demolished in 1913 - there is a Forfars shop just around the corner from where this windmill was located, (just off Ditchling Road, Brighton).

The Cutress family continued to Bake in Brighton and they bought Forfars in 1937. Then there was a small Bakery with two shops in Hove. Over the next 40 years the company branched out into Hotels (Courtlands), high class Restaurants (The Eaton & The Pump House), Outside Catering and continued to grow the Bakery side of the business.

Environment

Being one of the largest employers within Sussex we take great pride in the environment that we operate in. for example, Forfars has a fantastic new brand - Forfars 2U.

The vehicles use the latest mobile heating and refrigeration technology to ensure that your freshly baked savouries taste as fresh as when they came out of the oven, and the sandwiches and rolls are as if they were just made fresh for you.

As well as stocking an excellent range of Forfars goods they also sell many types of cold drinks, crisps and chocolate bars. Something for everyone! We currently operate seven 2U vans in the following areas:

  • Burgess Hill
  • Littlehampton & Rustington
  • Lancing & West Worthing
  • Southwick, Portslade & Shoreham
  • Lewes, Ringmer & Newhaven
  • Brighton, Hove & Peacehaven
  • Uckfield & Heathfield
