No. 75 of the UK's Top 100 in 2019
Warrens Bakery is 'The Oldest Cornish Pasty Maker in the World' as well as the UK’s No. 1 bakery (Craft Bakery Business Award). UK consumer tastes are evolving towards greater quality, provenance and differentiation, but there is a lack of choice in bakery products. Warrens is seeking partners to roll out their premium bakery brand nationally. As a full spectrum craft bakery, the daily duties can include crafting fresh sandwiches, salads, fruit pots and finishing off confectionery products. Franchisees are responsible for delivering the brand’s handmade bread and pasties.
