Greggs has faced skepticism from locals fiercely loyal to traditional Cornish pasta. Photo: Andrew Crowley. . The chain previously opened a store in Saltash, which sits on the River Tamar close to the Devon border and is known as the “gateway to Cornwall”, in 2018. However, it closed just a few months later.
Steve Baker, of Baker's Cornish Bakehouse in Saltash, said: “We have a good customer base and haven't noticed any change. They are completely different from us, and they do it on budget, but they charge good money.”
“It doesn't bother us.”
Ms. Curry told the PA news agency: “The reopening strategy will be planned and the new location in Cornwall is a key part of that.”
“Obviously we are a brand that started their business from there meaning there are parts of the country like Cornwall and south west, where we see more opportunities to open sites.”
Greggs reported sales growth of almost one-fifth from the start of 2023 as budget meals continued to attract consumers amid the cost of living crisis.

While they won't be sold in Cornish stores, Greggs admits their own beef and potato pate “arguably” includes peas and carrots.
Mr Baker said: “You don't want see carrots in dough”.
