They had found a bit of a jam after a tense price war.
But after spending two years in exile, Warburton Crumpets finally returned to the boards of Waitrosis.
The high-end supermarket began to sell a selection of Warburtones products in recent weeks, including crumpets and gluten-free breads and sandwiches in a sign of renewed partnership between the two colossus companies.
It indicates a restoration in the relationships after Waitrose Warburton Products stopped in 2022 after a commercial dispute about the prices of goods.
Warburtons Row with Waitrosis was one of a number of disputes during the costs of living crisis between food companies and retailers due to rising material and labor costs.
This led many manufacturers to insist at higher prices in stores that were resisted by some supermarkets that worryed that this would scare away shoppers.
The many -minded return of the brand follows a change in leadership at Waitrose's parent company, the John Lewis Partnership, in September – in which chairman Jason Tarry Dame Sharon White replaced.

In commentary on the reunited partnership, Jonathan Warburton, the chairman of Warburtons, said that he was 'to Bits' that Warburtons was topped up in the supermarket.
He said: 'It is something we have quietly concealed with waitrosis for a while.
'We thought clearly [removing the products] Was a mistake, but we are chuffed to be back in and they have been very supportive. '
In the meantime, a Waitrosis spokesperson added: “We are very happy to toast the return of Warburtons -Brumpets and we know that our customers warmly welcome the fact that they are back.”
