Batchelors Launch Cup a Soup

Founded in Sheffield in 1895, Batchelors became a household name in Britain for dried foods, peas, and later instant soups. By the mid‑20th century, Batchelors soups were a staple of British kitchens, marketed as quick, affordable, and nourishing meals.

The later launch of Cup‑a‑Soup in the 1970s further cemented the brand’s reputation for convenience. Promotional items such as branded mugs reinforced Batchelors’ identity, bringing advertising charm into everyday domestic life.

Today, vintage Batchelors mugs are prized as nostalgic collectibles that capture the heritage of British food culture and the colourful world of advertising pottery.
