The baking story of Warrington
Warrington grew at the lowest bridging point of the River Mersey, and for centuries it was a market and crossing town between Lancashire and Cheshire. Its industries — wire-making, tanning, soap and brewing — made it prosperous, and its handsome Georgian town hall stands behind ornate golden gates first shown at the 1862 International Exhibition. Warrington's food draws on both counties: Cheshire cheese and soul cakes from the south, pies and barm cakes from the north. Lewis Carroll, creator of the Mad Hatter's tea party, was born in the nearby village of Daresbury, where a memorial window in the parish church celebrates him. The town's modern market hall brings food traders together in the centre.
Local bakes to look out for
- Soul cake – A small, spiced cake marked with a cross, a Cheshire autumn tradition.
- Meat and potato pie – A Lancashire-style pie of minced beef and potato.
- Cheshire cheese scone – A savoury scone made with crumbly Cheshire cheese.
Bakery hunter's tip: Start at the town-centre market, then visit Daresbury, just outside town, to see the Lewis Carroll memorial window.
Did you know? Lewis Carroll, whose Mad Hatter hosted literature's most famous tea party, was born in Daresbury near Warrington in 1832.
