The baking story of Wrexham
Wrexham, long the largest town in north Wales until it became a city in 2022, has been a market centre for centuries. Its Victorian Butchers' Market and General Market sit at the heart of a town centre that once traded in cattle, leather and ale. Wrexham was one of the first places in Britain to brew lager, in the 1880s, and its brewing heritage runs deep. Welsh teatime traditions are strong here: Welsh cakes cooked on a bakestone, bara brith studded with tea-soaked fruit, and crempog, thick Welsh pancakes stacked high with butter. The surrounding countryside, between the River Dee and the Clwydian hills, is dairy and farming land, so butter and buttermilk feature heavily in local baking.
Local bakes to look out for
- Welsh cake – A griddle cake with currants and a dusting of sugar.
- Bara brith – A dense fruit loaf made with tea-soaked dried fruit.
- Crempog – Thick Welsh buttermilk pancakes, stacked and buttered, traditional on Shrove Tuesday.
Bakery hunter's tip: Explore the Victorian market halls in the town centre, then look for Welsh cakes and bara brith in the bakeries around Hope Street and High Street.
Did you know? Wrexham is often credited as one of the first places in Britain to brew lager commercially, from 1882.
