Common sense victory for café called ‘Nice Baps’ that faced going bust over its ‘offensive’ name
Parish councillors said the venue — visited by David Cameron and the Poldark cast — had 'no place in society'
A CAFE named Nice Baps faced going bust after parish councillors objected to its saucy name.
They said the venue — visited by David Cameron and the cast of TV’s Poldark — had “no place in society”.
But they have climbed down after massive public backing for it.
Dad Kevin Baker, 54, who runs it with wife Laura, 34, said: “We had thousands and thousands of people offering support.
“Laura named it. We have nice 5in flour baps. They’re buns, not a degrading name for breasts. We’re delighted common sense prevailed.”
The diner, on a layby in Wadebridge, is ranked Cornwall’s No1 cafe on review site TripAdvisor.
Costa Coffee has tried to buy it out three times.
