Kidsgrove Oatcakes

15/06/2026

Tomorrow is the day! 🧡 And we've just had some incredible news that's made it even more special.

Bluebell School are joining us for the litter pick - with multiple classes attending throughout the day. 🏫

We are absolutely delighted. This was always about more than just picking up litter - it's about taking pride in the place we call home. And what better way to do that than passing those values on to the next generation.

Kidsgrove is our community. It has been since 1980. And seeing local children come out to help make it a better place genuinely means everything to us. 🧡

Tomorrow - Tuesday 16th June

📍 Meet outside Kidsgrove Oatcakes, 15 King Street

⏰ From 2pm
Come and join us - the more the merrier. And yes - free oatcakes for everyone who helps out! 🫓

Let's make Kidsgrove proud. See you tomorrow! 💪

We're back! 🧡 The Kidsgrove Oatcakes community litter pick returns and we want YOU to join us!

For those who came last time - you already know what this is about. For those who missed it - come and join us this time, you won't regret it.

Kidsgrove is our home. It's where we've been making oatcakes since 1980 and we take pride in this community every single day. So we're stepping outside again to do our bit and keep it looking the way it deserves.

We'll be tackling the alleyways behind King Street and down towards Aldi - gloves on, bags ready, let's get it done. 💪

📅 Tuesday 16th June
⏰ 2pm - a few hours
📍 Meet outside Kidsgrove Oatcakes, 15 King Street

And yes - free oatcakes for everyone who joins in! 🫓

The more the merrier - whether you can spare 20 minutes or the full afternoon, come and get involved. Every bit counts.

See you there Kidsgrove! 🧡

We've sent oatcakes to Australia. We've had bikers cook them at the Arctic Circle. And now this. 🧡

A customer came in a while back and bought some dry mix for two friends, a Stokie and a Brummie - who are living in India running a factory together.

Yesterday, they sent us these. 🇮🇳

Proper Staffordshire oatcakes, made from scratch with our dry mix, bacon, cheese, brown sauce. The full works. In India.

We genuinely don't know where this little bag of dry mix is going to end up next. Australia, Norway, India... and that's just the last few weeks.

If you've made our dry mix somewhere in the world we'd absolutely love to see it - drop your photos in the comments or send them over. 🌍

Handmade in Kidsgrove since 1980. Apparently unstoppable. 🫙
oatcakedan.com - we ship the dry mix worldwide.

The great oatcake filling debate begins 👀🧡

We asked the team and a few familiar faces what their go-to filling is - and the answers did not disappoint.

Jake went classic - bacon and cheese. Can't argue with that.
Our customer though? Bacon, sausage, cheese AND egg. The full works. Absolute scenes.

Now it's your turn - what's your favourite oatcake filling? Drop it in the comments below 👇 We want to see if bacon and cheese reigns supreme or if there's a wildcard out there we haven't heard yet.

Consider signing the petition to reduce VAT for the hospitality industry to 10% from the current 20%.

VAT is a killer for many small business, especially when you considers other rises across the board included energy, wages, supplies etc.

The hospitality sector has come together to launch – a united campaign and petition calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.

Spearheaded by chef and publican Tom Kerridge, we’re working alongside trade bodies across the sector, such as and , hospitality communities like , and you, businesses across hospitality, to say 10% VAT is fair for hospitality.

Our sector pays too much tax, and VAT is the single biggest lever the Government can pull to support venues, our customers, our high streets and our local communities.

This campaign is for everyone: businesses, customers, waiting staff, chefs, kitchen porters, bar staff, hotel teams, farmers, brewers, suppliers and producers.

Like, sign the petition and share this post – we need your support to reach a million signatures.

Some customers leave an impression you don't forget. ❤️

A whileback, a group of lads walked into the shop on King Street. Leathers on, bags packed, bikes loaded. Nothing unusual about that - except they weren't just popping in for breakfast. They were at the start of a motorbike trip. Not a weekend away. Not a city break.

They were riding to Nordkapp, Norway. The northernmost point in Europe. The edge of the Arctic Circle. 🇳🇴

And they wanted to make their own oatcakes once they completed the journey.

We packed them up some dry mix, wished them well, and honestly didn't know what to expect. Then the photos came back.

There they were. Staffordshire oatcakes, cooking on a camping stove, somewhere in the Arctic Circle, in 3°C temperatures, with nothing but open wilderness around them.

We've sent oatcakes to Australia. We've had them ordered from Berkshire, Lincolnshire, Spain, Germany and Chicago. But this might be the most remarkable one yet.

Bagged up in King Street, Kidsgrove. Eaten at the top of the world. 🌍

If you've taken your oatcakes somewhere memorable, we want to hear about it - drop it in the comments below 👇
