THE oldest bakery in Cornwall, Warrens Bakery, is opening a franchise store in Altrincham.

It will be the company's sixth franchise store outside of the South West to open since February 2017 and the furthest Northern store to date.

Family business Sim Trava Holdings has partnered in a franchise venture with Warrens Bakery and it will be opening on the high street this autumn.

The opening will mean Altrincham residents won’t have to travel far to pick up a hand-crimped taste of the iconic pasties, often enjoyed during holidays by the coast.

Commenting on the completion of the new lease, Simon Vardy at Sim Trava Holdings, said: “We are so excited to bring our local community a breakfast and lunch offer that is baked fresh in store each day and look forward to re-igniting our town’s passion for having a truly British bakery in their high-street.”

More details of the launch will soon be released, with an official opening planned to mark the arrival of the new bakery
