Legal bun fight as Greggs gears up for court action in bid to sell late night treats in Leicester Square
The popular bakery was told it could not sell hot food 24 hours a day as police feared an all-day Greggs could lead to crime and disorder.
The bakery caused a buzz last year when it announced it would roll out the blue carpet in a premiere-style opening, playing on the West End's reputation for theatre and film.But it clashed with the Met in July, with PC Adam Deweltz writing to Westminster's licensing committee saying the force believes a late night licence will add to "crime and disorder".
"It is our belief that if granted, the application could undermine the licensing objectives in relation to the prevention of crime and disorder."The hours [Greggs] seek are also beyond that of Westminster's core hours policy." Greggs had told Westminster Council: "One of the concerns Greggs has is that if they are unable to offer their full range and a customer wants, for example, a coffee with their sandwich or doughnut, or some potato wedges, they may become more confused and argumentative or disruptive in store if they are able to access the full range of goods before 11pm but are unable to do so after 11pm.
