Beans are an absolute staple of the British diet, right? And cheesy beans might be one of our nation’s finest culinary creations.
Now, two heavyweight brands have collaborated to make that culinary creation even more convenient.
You may remember that back in 2022, Heinz took two British breakfast classics, baked beans and hash browns, and combined them together to create a new delicacy, and then only a matter of months later, followed that up with the similarly-genius creation of tomato ketchup inside hash browns – both of which are available exclusively in Iceland.
So, with seemingly every other beans creation having now been created, it’s time for a new one… and what could be a better new addition than Heniz teaming up with cult cheese brand, Cathedral City, to create literal cans of cheesy beans that you’ll soon be able to grab from supermarket shelves?
Yes, that’s right – Brits have been combining baked beans and cheese for decades, but now, all the effort that’s involved in the preparation has been made even easier for us.

Heinz x Cathedral City Cheesy Beanz are finally a reality, and it’s just in time for Valentine’s Day.
“We know Brits absolutely love pairing beans with cheese,” Alessandra de Dreuille, who is the Director of Meals and Insights at Heinz UK, said ahead of the product’s release tomorrow.
“So we’re thrilled to finally announce our partnership with Cathedral City and bring beanz lovers up and down the country the ultimate perfect match.

“And what better time to launch this cheesy duo than in the run-up to Valentine’s Day too, so whether you’re celebrating with your friends, partner, family or even your pets, you can be sure to find love with Heinz Cheesy Beanz.”
The launch of the product comes as recent research carried out by the two brands has revealed that almost half of Brits say beans and cheese are one of the best food combos, with people eating beans 57 times a year on average, a further 25% admitting to indulging in them at least twice a week or more, and 64% saying cheese makes beans even tastier than they already are.
Want to get your hands on them then?
Well, first up, a limited drop of 500 Heinz Cheesy Beanz cans will go live at midday this Valentine’s Day on heinztohome.co.uk, and then the product will then be hitting Tesco stores nationwide from 21 February.
The new creation is expected to set you back just £1.80 per can, so you don’t even need to break the bank to tuck into your newest favourite comfort food.

One in 10 Brits are fired or disciplined after their work’s Christmas party, new survey finds
Emily Sergeant
We’re in peak office Christmas party season right about now.
With just under two weeks to go until the big day itself is here, many businesses across the UK are treating their staff to night out to celebrate both the festive season and all of the hard work they have been putting in throughout the year… and as you can expect, these are usually quite eventful gatherings, shall we say.
But now, a survey by has shed light on just how ‘eventful’ they actually are, as a new survey has revealed that, apparently, one in ten Brits face some sort of disciplinary action or dismissal due to their behaviour at Christmas parties.
The study was conducted by After Drink, and included more than 2,000 participants.
During the research, it was highlighted that 89% of employees admitted to drinking alcohol at these events, Lad Bible reports – with 65% of these confessing that they drank “excessively”.

There are a multitude of incidents which could lead to disciplinary action in the workplace nowadays, but according to the survey, some of the common reasons following festive celebrations with colleagues included inappropriate comments (23%) and even getting into fights (21%).
16% of these incidents were because of drug use during the event, while inappropriate interactions with colleagues accounted for 14%.
Some of the legal reasons you can be fired from your place of work after a Christmas party include gross misconduct, drunken behaviour, and fighting of any kind.
Despite all these risks, however, Christmas parties still remain as popular as always, and a whopping 79% of respondents said they are planning to attend theirs this year.
Clearly, the moral of the story here is , enjoy yourself… but just not too much.

More than 12 million Brits think Yorkshire puddings belong with your Christmas dinner
Emily Sergeant
More than 12 million Brits would argue that your Christmas dinner needs a side of Yorkshire puddings, a shocking survey has revealed.
The survey in question carried out by retailer Next – which polled a total of 2,000 Brits about their Christmas dining and tableware habits – has uncovered that millions of people stray off the beaten track when it comes to, what we can all agree is, one of the biggest and heartiest meals of the year.
It turns out, Brits like a lot of unusual items on our Christmas dinner plate.
Some of the most obscure finds the survey is that two million people admitted to eating onion rings alongside their turkey and sprouts, and a further 5% (3.4 million) Brits like tucking into a bit of seafood on Christmas Day.
A surprising 4% (2.7 million) of people admitted that they like to add ketchup to their Christmas dinner plate – with mac and cheese, chips, and sweetcorn also making the top 10 list.

If all of that wasn’t mad enough as it is, one of the most shocking stats from the survey is probably the fact that a whopping 1.4 million respondents even said that they wouldn’t consider it a Christmas dinner without the addition of baked beans.
But when it comes to Christmas dinner, there’s probably one debate that’s bigger than them all, and is still yet to be decided – do Yorkshire puddings belong on your Christmas dinner plate or not?
Well, 12.7 million Brits believe that they do, and we reckon a good chunk of that number is us northerners.

While previous research has shown that the most common items on a British Christmas dinner are roast potatoes and gravy, these latest stats reveal there are some people out there who just like to do things a little differently.
But no matter how you like to eat it, a delicious Christmas dinner is always going to be something to celebrate, right?
