The business closed its doors on June 27 after being advised to close the business "sooner rather than later".

"Despite our best efforts, the increased cost associated with running a small, hospitality business on the high street means that it is no longer financially viable for us to keep trading.

"We wish we had time to say goodbye to all our customers and friends but we have been advised to close the business sooner rather than later.

"We wish you and your children good health and happiness for the future."
