Furniss
Furniss of Cornwall dates its biscuits to 1886, when John Cooper Furniss opened a tea shop in Truro and worked into the small hours baking gingerbread and Cornish fairings. We stock three from the New Wave range, the Clotted Cream and Belgian Choc Chunks shortbreads and the Gingerbread With Dark Chocolate Pieces, because a regional bakery with real history belongs beside a pot of tea.

About Furniss
Furniss of Cornwall dates its biscuits to 1886, when John Cooper Furniss opened his first tea shop in the centre of Truro and worked into the small hours baking gingerbread and Cornish fairings to serve fresh the next day. The bakery moved to Redruth in 1988, was rescued by Proper Cornish Ltd in 2006, and joined Prima Bakeries Group in 2024.
Furniss is for a Cornish cream tea at home, or a gift for anyone who misses the county. The clotted cream shortbread wants a delicate cup, a Darjeeling or a light Ceylon, so the butter comes through. The gingerbread with dark chocolate stands up to something stronger: an Assam, a Yorkshire Gold or a milky breakfast blend.
