Free baps for university students at Rushden bakery during Freshers' Week

Students at the University of Northampton will have the opportunity to bag a free breakfast bap during Freshers’ Week at Bakery79.

The bakery in John Clark Way, Rushden is hoping to help new students who may be feeling the financial pinch that comes with moving away from home by offering one of three breakfast items at its participating locations.

Those who show a valid student ID or proof of enrollment at Baklery79 in Rushden can claim a free bacon, sausage, omelette or veggie sausage bap.

Hemant Tandon, co-founder of the family-run bakery, said: “Starting university is a huge milestone, but those first few weeks away from home can also be pretty daunting.

“We wanted to do something small to make that first week a little easier so a free breakfast felt like the perfect way to help.”

Students up and down the UK have been offered the free breakfast item across the brand’s 15 stores, however the offer is limited to 100 free breakfast baps per store, and is only available while stocks last.

There, students will also have the chance to try the brand’s Summer of 79 menu, which is inspired by much-loved British flavours, including sweet treats inspired by Parma Violets, Drumsticks and Jelly Beans.
