The first independent Artisan bakery in Holborn in 50 years is under threat by a misguided and irrational campaign of opposition by one vocal minority.
Our desire is to wind back the clock to a time when baking actually takes place on the premises. We also believe in creating an inviting location where people can come in to eat from early morning until the evening, with the option of interesting ciders from Devon or a organic wine if they choose.
According to the objectors The Fleet River Bakery will:
"Make life unsupportable" and "be hell"
"Present a danger to children"
"Attract homeless people as they are selling cider"
Sign the Petition in support of our upcoming Licensing Appeal to the Magistrates Court.
We just hit two hundred and fifty names and the busybodies trying to shut us down are officially on notice. This local opposition is pathetic but they are clearly terrified that we are bringing real life back to this neighborhood.

This is a well run and ethical business. This presents no more risk than any other business offering drink or wine. I try to see both sides of any argument but I can see no merit to these objections.

TOTAL NONSENSE. The people complaining probably just dont want anything nice in the neighborhood. Hope you win the license.

I live right round the corner and honestly i dont see the issue. Its a lovely spot and the smell of fresh bread is amazing. Stop complaining over nothing.

Ridiculous complaints. A bakery is exactly what this area needs instead of another soulless chain store. Good luck with the appeal.

Used to go here all the time before the trouble started. Really miss my morning coffee and pastry. Keep fighting it!

The arguments against this place are basically laughable. Its a bakery not a nightclub. People need to get a grip.
