For group elevenses, choose the Crawfords assortment if sealed portions matter and guests can choose from mixed biscuit varieties: bourbon creams are included, but the box does not guarantee one for everyone. Schär offers gluten- and wheat-free bourbon portion packs, though the checked Iceland Foods listing was unavailable and its ingredients include milk and soya. If individual wrapping is unnecessary, a standard bourbon share pack is another option; check its allergens and how you will serve it once opened.
If you need to hand out biscuits without opening a communal packet, consider sealed portions. Kingswood Business Supplies and UK Catering Supplies describe a Crawfords box of 100 assorted mini packs, with three biscuits per pack. Bourbon creams are one of six varieties, so the box suits a mixed selection rather than a bourbon for every guest.
Schär bourbon biscuits come in five 25 g portion packs labelled gluten- and wheat-free, according to Iceland Foods. Its checked listing was unavailable and names soya, lactose and milk powder in the ingredients. Confirm stock and read the current pack before serving.
If sealed handout portions are not needed, conventional bourbon packs may fit the occasion. Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda list standard packs with ingredient information, but their checked listings do not establish that the biscuits are individually wrapped. Plan how to store the biscuits after opening.
Decide whether each guest needs a sealed portion before choosing between an assorted catering box, a smaller portion-pack product and a share pack.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed portions | Check that the listing explicitly says each portion is wrapped. For a group, check the number of packs and biscuits per pack. | I need to hand out biscuits at a meeting without opening a shared packet. The Crawfords listings from Kingswood Business Supplies and UK Catering Supplies describe 100 assorted mini packs with three biscuits in each. |
| Bourbon-only servings | Distinguish a bourbon-only product from an assortment. Confirm the variety breakdown if you need a set number of bourbon portions. | Everyone should be able to receive a bourbon. Crawfords includes bourbon creams among six varieties, but its listed pack count does not specify how many are bourbon creams. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current physical pack for the relevant ingredients and allergen statements. Check allergens beyond gluten when considering a gluten-free product. | For a guest avoiding gluten or wheat, I would check the Schär portion pack’s label. Iceland Foods lists it as gluten- and wheat-free, while its ingredients also include milk- and soya-derived ingredients. |
| Pack size and serving | Compare the number of usable portions, not just the total pack weight. Check whether an opened share pack can be stored and served as intended. | A small household break may not call for a catering box. If guests do not need sealed portions, a standard bourbon pack can be served from a biscuit tin. |
Kingswood Business Supplies and UK Catering Supplies list bourbon creams in the Crawfords assortment, alongside five other varieties. The number of bourbon packs within the 100-pack box is not specified.
Choose the assortment when mixed flavours are acceptable. If every guest must receive a bourbon, confirm the variety breakdown with the seller or choose a clearly bourbon-only portion pack.
Iceland Foods labels the Schär bourbon packs gluten- and wheat-free, but lists soya flour, lactose and milk powder among their ingredients.
Check the current physical label for every allergen relevant to the people being served, rather than relying on the gluten-free description alone.
The checked Tesco, Sainsbury’s and McVitie’s listings describe conventional bourbon packs; they do not establish individual wrapping. Tesco and Sainsbury’s also give storage instructions for after opening.
Settle the serving format first. If biscuits must stay in separate wrappers until handout, choose a listing that explicitly confirms portion packs.
The checked packaging instructions differ: Tesco’s listing says its film is not recyclable, while Asda’s McVitie’s listing directs its wrap to bag recycling at a large supermarket, not home recycling.
Follow the instruction on the pack you buy and check which collections are available locally.
These examples illustrate different pack formats and ingredient requirements; a brand name alone does not establish that a particular pack is individually wrapped.
The assorted mini-pack box is a group-serving option when mixed biscuit varieties are acceptable.
Its bourbon biscuit product offers a smaller, gluten- and wheat-free portion-pack format.
The Tasties Bourbon Cream Biscuits listing describes a standard pack for shared serving.
Its Bourbon Creams are a standard-pack option when sealed individual servings are unnecessary.
This bourbon-style product is a standard-pack alternative for shoppers checking milk and gluten ingredients.
The product below is an Oreo biscuit in a six-bag format, not a bourbon biscuit. Consider it only if a different biscuit is acceptable for elevenses; it does not resolve a bourbon-only requirement.

The six-bag format may suit a break where separate bags are useful, provided guests do not specifically need bourbon biscuits. Check the current pack for ingredients and allergens before serving.
No. Kingswood Business Supplies and UK Catering Supplies describe a six-variety assortment that includes bourbon creams. The listings do not specify how many of its 100 portion packs contain bourbons, so confirm the breakdown if every guest needs one.
Not necessarily. Iceland Foods lists the Schär bourbon portion packs as gluten- and wheat-free, but their ingredients include soya flour, lactose and milk powder. Read the current physical label before serving.
Do not assume it will. The checked Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda listings describe standard bourbon packs without establishing individually wrapped biscuits. Choose a product that explicitly confirms separate portions if wrapping is essential.
Follow the instruction on the particular pack. Tesco’s checked listing says its film is not recyclable, while Asda’s McVitie’s listing directs the wrap to bag recycling at a large supermarket rather than home recycling. Local collection options may also differ.
