Cornwall-based Warrens Bakery opened a new location with SGN Retail, at BP’s Frenchay site in Bristol. The new bakery will serve customers with hand-crimped Cornish pasties, artisan baked goods and freshly brewed hot drinks. 

This is the company’s sixth forecourt opening, which brings its total number of operating sites across the UK to 47. The new location joins its five other forecourt partnership sites at gas stations in Calcot, Didcot, Lechlade, Ludlow and Lydney.

Warrens Bakery occupies a distinctive space in the bakery and café market, bridging the gap between bakery chains and premium café bakeries, the company highlights: “Sitting comfortably between Greggs and Gail’s, it delivers an accessible price point while offering an elevated food and coffee experience and attracting a wide demographic.”

Warren Bakery’s CEO, Mark Sullivan, says, “We’re excited to launch another Warrens Bakery forecourt location, an area we are looking to grow further, and bring our much-loved baked goods and world-class coffee to customers on the go in Frenchay in Bristol.”

Saul Pullan from SGN Retail adds, “Our partnership with Warrens Bakery has been a real success across our petrol forecourt concessions. The new Frenchay location is a great example of how well the format works in this environment; it looks fantastic, trades strongly and delivers exactly what customers want on the move. Frenchay is our sixth location to incorporate a Warrens Bakery, building on the success of our other five locations, all of which have benefited from Warrens’ clear brand proposition, high-quality food offer and operational expertise. The Warrens Bakery team are consistently professional, responsive and easy to work with, making them a trusted partner as we continue to develop our forecourt portfolio.”
