Griffiths Bakery Reopens to Hour-Long Queues, Scales Back Hours After Rush

The founder’s daughter with her business partner revived the shop to preserve his recipes after the 2017 explosion wiped out its former premises.

Overview

  • The New Ferry bakery returned on October 6 after eight years, drawing roughly 200 people in the opening-day line.
  • Overwhelming demand forced a temporary shutdown after three days to restock, with service resuming on October 13.
  • To manage demand, the shop now closes at 3pm, finishes its last batch of pies at 2pm, and shuts on Wednesdays.
  • Queues continue along Bebington Road with posted notices advising waits of up to an hour at busy times.
  • Signature items, especially the chicken and ham pies, earned strong local reviews as Fiona Griffiths and Ritchie Hyland carry on Dave Griffiths’ legacy.
