A new bakery and cafe is to open in Keighley town centre creating around 20 jobs.

Baker's Oven will occupy the area in the Airedale Shopping Centre formerly home to the Three Cooks, which closed suddenly last month.

Baker's Oven - part of Greggs plc - is Europe's largest bakery-based takeaway and catering operation, with 275 shops nationwide. It plans to open the Keighley outlet in March.

A company spokesman told us: "The branch will be one of our bright and modern new-concept shops which I am sure will prove popular with the Keighley public."

The firm is seeking people to fill a wide range of posts, from management to weekend staff.

Anyone interested should go along to a Baker's Oven job fair at Keighley Conservative Club, Churchill House, North Street, on Tuesday, January 26, 9.30am-4.30pm, or phone 0800 526679.
