About Bonds of London Dolly Mixture

About Bonds of London Dolly Mixture

Nobody eats dolly mixture one at a time. You tip out a handful, sort it on your palm, and you know exactly which ones you are saving for last.

Bonds of London Dolly Mixture is the proper stuff: tiny pastel sweets, little squares and rounds, the ones that lived in a paper bag in a great many British childhoods.

Small enough to feel harmless. Small enough that the bag is somehow empty before the film has finished.

They were the sweets your gran kept in her handbag, and one taste puts you straight back on the bus home with sticky fingers.

Frequently asked questions about Bonds of London Dolly Mixture

A: 120g. Enough to share, if you are feeling generous, which is a big if.

A: For anyone who grew up in Britain, very much so. It is small, it slips into a parcel easily, and it says you remembered.

More about Bonds of London Dolly Mixture

Dolly mixture belongs to the old guard of British sweets, the ones that sat in jars on the top shelf at the newsagent. Gentle, a bit old fashioned, and nobody has ever needed it to be anything else.

If you grew up with them, you search for them by name, usually after someone mentions them and you realise it has been years. They are also the sweets people buy for their own children, just to see if the magic still works.

They come in a 120g bag, a decent handful for sharing or a fairly short evening on your own. Keep the bag closed in a cool, dry cupboard and they behave themselves. Some people use them to decorate cakes, though plenty never make it as far as the icing.

Dolly mixture rarely travels alone. It tends to end up in the basket beside other old favourites from the sweet shop jar, and before long you have built your own pick and mix and brought the corner shop back.

The story of Bonds of London Dolly Mixture

Small sweets, strong opinions

Nobody eats these one at a time. You tip a few into your palm, look them over, and save the best for last. Everyone has a system. Nobody agrees on it. A bag like this belongs to pocket money, the corner shop counter and being told you would spoil your tea. The name on this one is Bonds of London, which trade press described as one of the UK's oldest sweet businesses at the time of its 2016 sale. Old enough to know what it is doing, then.

Read the full story

Jars on the top shelf

Bonds of London has historically been known for traditional British sweets such as pick'n'mix jars and hanging bags. Its best-known sweet jars include retro classics such as sherbet lemons and wine gums. If you ever pointed at a jar on a high shelf behind the counter and asked for a quarter, this is that world. Then there are the hanging bags, clipped to a stand by the till, somehow always at exactly child height. Pure coincidence, surely.

New owners, same sweet shop

In April 2016, Bonds of London was bought by US-foods wholesaler Innovative Bites in a multimillion-pound deal. Innovative Bites was founded in 2008 by Vishal Madhu, and managing director Philip Courtenay-Luck stayed on with the business after the acquisition. A year after buying Bonds of London, Innovative Bites went on to acquire pick'n'mix wholesaler Hancocks Cash & Carry in a deal worth about £100m. Somebody takes British sweets very seriously. Good. Someone has to.

The bag that never makes it home

A bag of sweets has a habit of vanishing somewhere between the shop and the front door. It goes in a coat pocket for the walk, gets passed along the row at the cinema and ends up in the glovebox for emergencies. Grandparents keep one in the kitchen drawer. Children are allowed one handful and take two. Open this one and you are nine again, arguing with your brother about who got more.
