👑🐝 Meet Fiona the Queen Bee of The Honeypot! 🐝👑

If you've ever visited The Honeypot in Hawkshead, you've probably met Fiona the friendly face behind the counter and the heart of our business.

Over 28 years ago, at just 30 years old, Fiona took a leap of faith and became the owner of The Honeypot while raising two young children. She wasn't on that journey alone her mum and dad were there every step of the way, offering their support and helping her build the business into what it is today.

Through hard work, determination and plenty of passion, Fiona transformed The Honeypot into the much-loved village shop it is today.

From day one, she's believed in supporting local producers and small businesses, filling our shelves with quality products from across the region and creating a shop that's become a favourite with both locals and visitors alike.

Alongside the shop, Fiona has also built a successful Amazon store, helping customers across the UK enjoy The Honeypot's products wherever they are.

The Honeypot has always been about more than just what's on the shelves it's about community, friendly faces and making everyone feel welcome. That legacy has been shaped by the dedication of Fiona and the support of her family from the very beginning.

Here's to our Queen Bee, Fiona, and to more than 28 years of serving Hawkshead with a smile. 💛🍯🐝
