Greggs has opened up a new front in the long-running pasty war in Cornwall with the proposal of its seventh store despite local fury.
The northern-based bakery chain had long struggled to establish itself in the home of the pasty with past attempts being abandoned due to the strength of local opposition.
They were initially 'driven out' and dubbed the 'devil's spawn' by locals when they first tried to open in Saltash in 2019.
However, after reigniting the conflict by opening in Cornwall's county town of Truro, the chain now has six stores across popular parts of the region.
And it looks like Greggs is hoping to add a seventh as plans reveal what would be its newest site.
