For more than 30 years, the crepe stand in Hampstead High Street has been a social hub for north-west London’s Jews.
For teenagers and young families, dating couples and senior citizens, La Crêperie de Hampstead has been a place to meet, greet and grab a French-style snack. Even celebrities such as Kate Moss and Mila Kunis have been known to stop by for a pancake.
But now La Crêperie’s Jewish owner, Edward de Mesquita, has told customers the business could close down because of a dispute with the neighbouring King William IV pub.
The stall’s fridge and kitchen supplies are kept on land belonging to the pub. Solicitors have informed Mr de Mesquita that the landlord has concerns about the impact of the arrangement on the pub’s business and has decided to terminate it.
