Save Gaby's Deli

Save Gaby's Deli Gaby's Deli in Charing Cross Road may be closed down by the landlords - or maybe - thanks to the hug Gaby's would like to stay.
(509)

The landlord, the Marquess of Salisbury, wants to redevelop the site of Gaby’s Deli as a chain restaurant. Westminster Council gave planning permission for four properties to be converted into a restaurant (although this would reduce retail space, in contradiction to their own planning strategy and officers’ advice). If that's what the Marquess wants to do, he therefore can. But we want the Marque

ss to heed the wishes of Gaby's MP, customers and neighbours and let him stay. Gascoyne Holdings, the Marquess’s company, have now offered Gaby a "Tenant at Will" contract which will not be enforced against him until August 31st 2012 at the earliest. After that he can be evicted with just FOUR WEEKS' NOTICE - with no redress. You can't run a business or retain staff on that basis. The Marquess has written to campaigners to say that he believes Gaby has signed an agreement and is content with this. The Marquess considers the matter closed. But although Gaby has signed - he felt he had no other option - he is far from content and has stated that “I still hope that there will be a reversal of the decision and I will be granted a new long-term lease would allow my establishment to continue serving our loyal customers.”

Those of us who value London's variety and a unique place to eat in the West End will continue the campaign!

At last….

Back in the day I was at the cutting edge of social media campaigns. Proud to have been part of this campaign. Missing the great deli that was Gaby's and condolences to his family. RIP.

Sad news for those who loved Gaby’s Deli and still miss it nearly five years after it closed.

Gaby died on Sunday after quite a long decline.

He leaves his wife and three children.

The Save Gaby’s Deli campaigners wish the family long life and the happiest of memories.

And we have so many memories of Gaby, his felafel and salt beef, his welcome and wisdom, his claim to bringing both felafel and the cappuccino machine to London in the 60s, his signed theatre posters and pictures (destined for the V&A maybe?)

This page was going to close down in the near future. But the family would like it open as a memorial and so they can post some of the wonderful pictures from the deli. So be it.

Thank you for all the support

It looks like Gaby’s Deli may close at the end of October 2018. The Marquess is putting the rent up and not offering longer than a year’s lease.

The staff are anguished if course - some have been there for years and years.

This page manager only heard yesterday and hasn’t spoken to Gaby himself yet.

Bit of a twitter storm on

In case Gaby’s customers can help (and because am going there for felafel tonight.

OK, there may not be many Gaby's Deli people in Manchester. But would hate for them to miss out just for not knowing....
