Caxton
Caxton is the wafer brand behind Pink 'n' Whites, made by O.P. Chocolate of Merthyr Tydfil, a wafer maker since Oscar Peschek began in the late 1930s. We stock the Pink & White Wafers, soft pink and white mallow between thin wafer sheets, because some biscuits are about memory as much as flavour. The mallow contains gelatine, so they are not suitable for vegetarians.

About Caxton
Caxton is the wafer brand behind Pink 'n' Whites, made by O.P. Chocolate of Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales. O.P. was established in the late 1930s by Oscar Peschek, an Austrian baker and confectioner, on a site in Cardiff, and after two moves settled at Dowlais in 1963. It has been part of the French Cémoi group since 1991, and today makes chocolate and wafer biscuits with a team of around 450.
These are the wafers from a childhood tea table, and that is exactly where they still belong: a children's party plate, a nostalgic afternoon with the grandparents, or a mid-afternoon mug. Pair them with a strong builder's tea or an English Breakfast with milk, which cuts through the sugar. Keep them away from the dunk, and reseal the pack once opened, because wafer goes soft fast.
