Choose a custard-cream-only portion case if you want a ready-wrapped serving each time and will use a large case: Hill Biscuits lists 48 packets of three biscuits. An assortment makes sense if you also want other varieties; if separate wrapping is optional, a standard household packet avoids committing to a case.
If every wrapped serving needs to contain custard creams, Hill Biscuits lists a case of 48 packets with three biscuits in each. This format suits someone who will use the whole case, not someone expecting one wrapper per biscuit.
A mixed case suits households that will use other biscuit varieties too. Check the custard-cream allocation for the exact case: Hill Biscuits specifies 20 custard-cream packets in its 100-packet selection.
If separate wrappers are optional and a case is more than you expect to use, consider a household packet. Tesco lists a 400 g custard-cream packet and advises storing it in an airtight container once opened.
Choose when: Every ready-wrapped serving needs to be custard creams; Hill Biscuits lists 48 three-biscuit packets in its single-variety case.
Bear in mind: You need to be able to use a foodservice-sized case, and each inner packet contains three biscuits.
Choose when: Separately packed servings matter, but other biscuit varieties are welcome alongside custard creams.
Bear in mind: Hill Biscuits specifies 20 custard-cream packets in its 100-packet selection; that allocation cannot be assumed for another assortment.
Choose when: You want custard creams without buying a portion-pack case, and separate wrapping is optional.
Bear in mind: The cited Tesco and M&S listings do not establish separately wrapped servings; follow the chosen packet’s storage directions after opening.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Wrapped serving | Check both the number of inner packets and biscuits per packet. Hill Biscuits lists three biscuits per packet in its portion cases. | I want a packet I can take out for one occasion, rather than loose biscuits from a shared pack. |
| Case contents | For an assortment, check the custard-cream count separately from the total. Hill Biscuits specifies 20 custard-cream packets among 100; the Crawford’s retailer describes 100 mixed mini-packs without a custard-cream allocation. | Will the other varieties get eaten, or do I want custard creams every time? |
| Ingredients and timing | Read the current pack’s ingredients and allergen information. For eating at bedtime, Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust advises avoiding sugary food and drink. | I need to check whether the biscuits suit the people eating them, as well as deciding when to serve them. |
| Storage after opening | Follow the directions on the chosen pack. Tesco specifies a cool, dry place and an airtight container after opening for its 400 g packet. | If I only take a few biscuits at a time, I want to know how to keep the rest. |
Hill Biscuits specifies three biscuits in each inner packet of its cited portion cases.
Check the biscuits-per-packet figure as well as the number of packets in the case.
Hill Biscuits specifies 20 custard-cream packets in its 100-packet selection. The cited retailer description of Crawford’s mixed case does not give a custard-cream allocation.
If every serving needs to be custard creams, choose a single-variety case rather than relying on the assortment’s total packet count.
Other varieties may be left unused if nobody wants them.
Separate wrappers do not change Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust’s advice to avoid sugary food and drink at bedtime.
Decide whether to have a bedtime biscuit separately from deciding which pack format to buy.
Its manufacturer listings distinguish a custard-cream-only portion case from a mixed selection.
The Heavenly Coffee Company lists a 100-mini-pack Crawford’s assortment that includes custard creams.
Its 400 g custard-cream listing is a household-packet reference when separate portions are optional.
Its 165 g Extra Cream Custard Creams are another household-packet reference for shoppers seeking that variant.
This standard-packet option is for shoppers who do not require a case of separately wrapped portions.

A 125g custard-cream packet for occasions when separate portions are optional. The product name states gluten free; check the current pack’s ingredients and allergen information before choosing it for a dietary requirement, and confirm the inner packaging if individual wrappers matter.
No, not for the cited Hill Biscuits portion cases: each inner packet contains three biscuits. Check the biscuits-per-packet figure rather than relying on the word “wrapped”.
It depends on the exact assortment. Hill Biscuits specifies 20 custard-cream three-packs in its 100-packet selection; check another case’s flavour allocation rather than applying Hill’s count to it.
Follow the directions on that packet. Tesco advises keeping its 400 g custard creams in a cool, dry place and in an airtight container once opened.
No. Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust advises avoiding sugary food and drink at bedtime; a portion wrapper changes how the biscuits are packed, not that advice.
Check the current product pack’s ingredients and allergen information before eating, rather than relying on a brand name or an earlier product description. If the information you need is unclear, seek clarification before choosing the biscuits.
