Lyons Battenberg Cake
This has been on special offer recently in Tesco's and since the offer has been on I have been able to eat single handed 4 whole cakes. The offer being buy one get one free and for a price of £1.29 pence, which gets you the two cakes, I think it is well worth it.

It also doubles up as a bit of a park and is always filled with people maybe taking some time out, walking their dog or just generally absorbing the atmosphere. There are in fact 2 rivers that run through Lyon (Rhone ...

Lyons Fresh Coffee Bags
It had to happen really, we've had tea bags for ages and over the years several companies have attempted to introduce the British coffee drinking public to coffee bags. Lyons have now jumped on the bandwagon with their version of coffee bags.
The Product
A one cup bag of ground coffee to make a cup of 'proper' coffee in an instant. Sounds promising, doesn't it? Proper coffee without having to use a coffee maker, percolator or filter machine. Proper coffee in the same time as it takes to make a mug of instant.
The coffee bags are sold in a green foil pouch with the Lyons logo and the slogan 'Coffee Perfection Since 1904' in white . The product name and details in gold and a small picture of coffee beans against a red background completes the simple packaging design. The packaging is eye catching ...
