Vita-Weat was probably their best known product.

Yes, a lot of people would not know or would have forgotten that the Vita-Weat biscuit that you can still buy to this very day was originally a Peek Freans product.
In 1982 at The Oval, a rare and funny cricketing moment was born!
England’s Chris Tavare was batting at such a slow pace against India that the crowd lost patience. One cheeky spectator even walked onto the field with a stool—so Tavare could “sit and relax” between his dot balls!
Though his innings tested the fans’ patience, Tavare went on to score a crucial 75 runs for England. That stool incident is still remembered as one of the most humorous and unforgettable episodes in cricket history.
