The baking story of Blackpool
Blackpool was the great seaside resort of the industrial north, where Lancashire mill towns emptied out during their 'wakes weeks' each summer. Its food is pure holiday: fish and chips, candyfloss, toffee apples, doughnuts and, above all, Blackpool rock — sticks of hard, minty sugar with the town's name running all the way through. Rock-making here is still a skilled trade, with lettering built up by hand inside giant slabs of boiled sugar. The Tower Ballroom's tea dances recall a gentler era of tea and cakes, and the Illuminations stretch the season into autumn. Between visitors, locals rely on Lancashire bakery staples: meat-and-potato pies, barm cakes and Eccles cakes.
Local bakes to look out for
- Blackpool rock – A stick of hard, minty boiled sugar with lettering running through it.
- Meat and potato pie – A Lancashire favourite of minced beef and potato in shortcrust.
- Barm cake – A soft, flat bread roll, perfect for a chip butty.
Bakery hunter's tip: Look for a rock shop where you can watch the sugar being pulled and lettered, then follow the promenade from the Tower towards the Pleasure Beach.
Did you know? In a stick of seaside rock, the letters are formed by hand from coloured sugar while the slab is still large, before it is stretched into thin sticks.
