A job ad for a bakery manager in Wells has fuelled talk that Cornish Bakery could be the next food brand heading to the city.

The £33,000-a-year role is advertised as full-time and calls for someone to "embed the 'High End Bakery' mindset" and "establish the bakery as the heart of the local community".

Cornish Bakery has not confirmed plans for a new site in Wells, but the job post suggests the company may be preparing to open in the city's High Street.

With more than 70 shops across the UK, the chain is known for its hand-crafted Cornish pasties, seasonal bakes and coffee. It was born in Mevagissey and says its mission is to "nourish people" and "redefine what a bakery is, does and can be".

The company has not responded to a request to comment.
