Muffin Man’s Beech Hill outlet has shut following the premises requiring additional work to be done. Having begun trading in 1977, it has gained a reputation for providing hot pies for a more than reasonable price and the sudden closure came as a surprise to a number of social media users.

But bosses say that customers should fear not, as three of the company’s branches remain open and pastries and sweet treats can still be bought from Billinge, Shevington and Park Road in Wigan.

Muffin Man, Beech Hill has closed its doors

And the last of these outlets is also now home to staff who have moved from the Beech Hill store following its closure so there haven’t been redundancies either.

The business’s production site is close to Wigan town centre and its meats are provided by local butcher H Greaves and Son.

Opening times and a list of products available can be found on the Muffin Man website.
