Finally got to try the bread from Eric's today. I can confirm that it is very good.

Interesting opinion piece from someone that actually knows what they're talking about when it comes to the economics of running a small restaurant: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/may/29/running-a-small-restaurant-britain-sales-covid-inflation

Thanks Earl, good to know, I was a little confused by the thread which appeared to be all about small independent traders.  The Cheese Block is doing more bread nowadays so I expect that many of us want something better than Mothers Pride (if it still exists)

That’ll be the investors, as the bakery was entirely crowdfunded.

— they were promised “freebies” at the opening.

Cafes/Bakeries like this don’t last. They’ll end up just like all of the rest that have graced us for all 5 seconds.

My advice, stop slapping paint & a name on vacant buildings. Do your research & learn why the previous establishment did not last.

As discussed earlier 

The freebies (apart from courses) were delivered in advance of Eric's opening so the queues are genuine punters excited by fresh baked goods 😀
