| Bakers jostle for slice of action |
FOR years Hampstead High
Street has welcomed upmarket boutiques and well-heeled shoe
shops.
Now, the latest trend seems to be the good old-fashioned baker.
Plans to open the third bakery in a 100-yard stretch of the
High Street have just been announced.
The Bread Factory, which describes itself as a baker’s
with a “highly individual touch”, is opening its
first shop, Gail’s, in Hampstead High Street, just two
doors from the well-established Maison Blanc.
Two months ago, French patissiers Paul announced plans to
open a fourth branch of its bakers chain virtually opposite
Maison Blanc in what was Capital One newsagents at the corner
of Flask Walk.
All three bakers boast they use traditional French methods
with no artificial additives or preservatives.
Martin Humphery, of the Heath and Hampstead Society, believes
that the competition will be good for business.
He said it would be “good to get away from dress shops
and newsagents”.
“I certainly can’t find it in myself to be against
good bakers.” |
