Waitrose is selling a selection of Warburtons products again after more than two years since they were pulled from shelves.
The upmarket grocer had stopped selling the bakery brand’s ranges following a commercial dispute over the price of crumpets and other goods.
A Waitrose spokesman told The Telegraph: “We’re very pleased to toast the return of Warburtons crumpets and we know that our customers hole-heartedly welcome the fact that they’re back.”

The bakery brand’s return follows the arrival of former Tesco boss Jason Tarry as chairman of Waitrose’s parent company, John Lewis Partnership.
Tarry’s arrival comes at a pivotal time for the grocer as it looks to recover the market share it lost to rivals such as M&S during the cost-of-living crisis.
During his time at the UK’s biggest grocer, he played a major role in ex-CEO Sir Dave Lewis’ “Project Reset”, a shake-up of the range of products sold by Tesco.
