The place was crowded with tourists (Surprise, surprise) but it doesn't matter. The staff were helpful and proactive at cutting the line down. After much deliberation, I ended up picking some Butter Fudge up just for the beautiful silver and blue tin. I can't wait to drop back in to collect more darling tins, foreign candies and souveneirs for home.

What a delightful candy shop!…read more While on a day trip to Oxford to show my 10yo daughter where she *will* be attending university (hey, a mom can dream!), we happened upon this absolutely wonderful little shop, filled to bursting with every delicious sweet you could imagine! All of the standard favorites: humbugs, sherbet dips, chocolate-covered everything, fruit-shaped everything...you get the idea. But imagine my absolute surprise when I spied a shelf stocked with American candy, cereals, and snacks...including my favorite: Cheetos. Not even 48 hour prior, I was telling my husband that I would go to obscene lengths to have a bag of Cheetos, so strong was my craving for the vile snack food. Little did I know that all I needed to do was go to Oxford and visit Hardy's. Sorted! Now excuse me while I go wash the orange from my fingers...

You know that phrase: "kid in a candy store?"…read more Think: candies displayed in old glass jars, chocolates made from the U.K. (bought boxes of rose cream filled one for mom and dark chocolate covered ginger for my friend), toffee, caramels, gummies and even some American candy. You think it, they probably have it. This place has that nostalgic atmosphere and sweet aromas which make you feel so good just by being in the shop. You can't go wrong with chocolate anything and English toffee that'll stick to your teeth; these are the stuff that your friends dream of. And it's so much better than that Roman Bath magnet that's just gonna sit there and collect dust. Thank me later! ;-)

The idea for this aladdin's cave of sugary delights came from a sepia photograph the owners saw on a confectionnary newspaper. And when you walk through its doors you'll see how authentically fifties this sweet shop is. The owners of the shop obviously love what they do, and will enthusiastically talk you through all their stock and help you make your choice. I can guarantee if you go back to your office with a bag of sweets from Mr Simms - you'll be the most popular person at work.

Buttered brazils, strawberry Fizz Wizzes, humbugs of various stripes, liquorice is all its awful guises (I hated it) including the packet of sherbert with a liquorice stick inside like a small firework. Those flying-saucer sherbets in different art-deco colours; aniseeed balls, pear drops, barley sugar, sarsparilla, sherbert lemons. A treasure trove. Interestingly, most are still made in Scotland and the North of England. It's a labour of love by the owner, Judith Burnett, to keep each jar stocked. How lucky we are that she does.

It's not as big as I would have liked (!) but they do manage to cram in a lot of things in here. Sweets are in huge jars just like the used to be before 'Pick n' Pix' was invented.

If you are in the area, it's definitely worth a trip inside!!

What other name could you call a sweet shop really?…read more This is a tiny little shop big enough for maybe a handful of people at any one time, but it packs a mighty punch. All the old favourites line the shelves like wallpaper in the old fashioned tall pots. You pick what you want, the lady weighs it up and that's it - cue memory lane. Sherbet Lemons will always be my favourite but there are so many others too. This is also a good shop to find sugar and gluten free sweeties - which is pretty rare so fair play!
