The brand was given the green light to open the store by Norwich City Council in October and has taken over part of the former Topshop, which closed in February 2021.

The shop has gone into a gap at the back of Mountain WarehouseThe shop has gone into a gap at the back of Mountain Warehouse (Image: Eleanor Storey) While Mountain Warehouse opened in the store in 2023, a small part of the site remained empty, and the bakery is moving into the gap between the outdoor shop and McDonald's.

The branch will be takeaway only, with only enough space in the small shop for a counter and display cabinets.

The Cornish Bakehouse was founded in Cornwall in 1983 and has stores across the country, with the closest in Essex.
