Warburtons has invested over GBP7m (US$10.8m) in a new crumpet plant at its bakery in Bolton in north-west England to produce the new line and the standard-sized crumpets.

The company has secured listings for the new products at retailers including Asda, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, and The Co-operative Group. They are available in packs of two with an RRP of GBP0.69.
