They all want to eat the same thing
Coronation Street legend Simon Gregson's wife Emma is the face behind one local tea room that sees queues out the door each week.
"There's a group of ladies here who want to nominate her for an award for her cakes, and people are now coming in asking if they can buy whole Victoria sponges they're that popular. If I'm not at work I like to pop in for a sandwich as it's better than making one at home." She adds: "I've always been a baker, I bake with the kids and I've always found it very therapeutic. But I was nervous at first as it's a bit different when you start charging for them, but thankfully the reviews have been so lovely."
Emma says: "it’s a really lovely community. The tearooms here always used to be the place to come in the area, and people now realise it’s open again. The biggest hits are her home-baked Victoria sponge, chocolate cakes and lemon drizzle, sold for £3.50 a slice. People are now wanting to buy entire cakes.
He says: "An old lady sent the recipe into Corrie back in the 60s and Betty [Driver, who famously played barmaid Betty] kept it and then printed it off to give it to us all.Simon's Corrie storylines also become a topic of debate in the café too. He recently hit headlines when fans thought he was sporting a "new look" in the soap - after Steve McDonald was spotted wearing a cap - with fans speculating if actor Simon had had a hair transplant.
