About Aunt Bessie's
Aunt Bessie's makes frozen Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes, products central to a British Sunday roast that few households now make from scratch. Nomad acquired the brand in 2018 for about £210 million. The brand was founded in Hull in 1995 and named after a fictional figure meant to suggest home cooking, and its frozen Yorkshire puddings are now sold in far greater volume than any made at home.
