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.
Parish councillors also claimed its size broke licensing laws.
But yesterday the county council said the gripes had been dropped and a December licensing hearing axed. It added: “This means the council will renew consent.”
