Bringing Staffordshire Oatcakes to the Nation

Our feature on Inside the Factory was an incredible opportunity to share this local delicacy with a wider audience, introducing more people across the UK to the joys of traditional oatcakes.
During the episode, viewers were given a rare glimpse into our oatcake production process as explained in the StokeonTrentLive Article, from mixing the batter to cooking the oatcakes on our griddles. The show also explored the fascinating history of oatcakes, a staple in Staffordshire cuisine that dates back centuries.

Why Staffordshire Oatcakes Are Special
Unlike Scottish oatcakes, which are crisp and biscuit-like, Staffordshire oatcakes are soft, savoury, and incredibly versatile. They can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, served with a variety of breakfast items such as sausage, bacon, cheese, mushrooms, egg or tomato. Or simply just with butter and warmed in the microwave.
At Povey’s, we pride ourselves on making oatcakes that honour tradition while catering to today’s tastes. Our wholesale oatcakes are supplied to businesses across the UK, from small independent shops to major supermarkets like Aldi, ensuring that more people can experience the true taste of Staffordshire’s favourite food.
