US EditionJamie Oliver Unveils Plan to Turn Stable Block at Essex Home Into 'Pop-up Bakery'
- Jamie Oliver has applied to Braintree District Council for permission to operate a pop-up bakery in the former stable at his Essex home during August 2025.
- The plan follows Oliver's acquisition of Spains Hall estate in Finchingfield, where he has renovated the Grade I listed property and sought repair permissions previously.
- The bakery would serve baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee seven days a week from 9am to 5pm, using the existing kitchen and parking, with no physical alterations to the building.
- Representatives stated the trial offers a chance to test small-scale rural commercial use without harming heritage, traffic, or amenity, employing six staff with three weekly deliveries.
- No public comments have been recorded yet and the council will decide on the application later, potentially introducing a new community use to the historic estate.
