    Faeryfloss

Organic glitter candy floss made from FairTrade organic raw cane sugar.

Faeryfloss was born out of sheer dissapointment at the candyfloss that was on offer at a circus I took one of my lovely sons to.

He got the floss but it was plain white, too small, and just really lacklustre; nothing that candyfloss should be when you're a kid - or an adult for that matter!

We use aware-winning local cheeses like Yorkshire blue and we grow many of our vegetables in our market garden. For extra flavour we add our own special ingredients like caramelised balsamic onion and oven roasted red peppers. The end result is a pizza that tastes as good as anything you'll find this side of Italy!
