Walker’s Nonsuch has been making toffee with love and tradition for over five generations since its founding in 1894 in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, the heart of the Potteries. What began as a humble sweet shop opened by Edward Joseph Walker, a former potter, and his sister Florence quickly grew into Britain’s oldest and most beloved makers of traditional toffee. Edward Joseph created a unique toffee recipe that became the foundation of the brand’s success, treasured and kept secret through the years.
As demand for their delicious toffee grew, the business expanded from a small sweet shop to a factory operation, evolving steadily through the generations. Each new chapter saw the family preserve the original recipe while introducing new varieties and embracing innovation to grow the brand from a local favourite into a globally recognised name. Today, Walker’s Nonsuch remains proudly family-owned, led by sisters Katie and Emma alongside fifth-generation family members Jonathan and Isobella, all committed to preserving the brand’s heritage while sharing their passion for quality toffee with the world.
From traditional recipes to international recognition, the heart of Walker’s Nonsuch has remained the same: making toffee with care, using only the finest ingredients and time-honoured methods. This commitment to quality and heritage continues to drive the brand today.
