Announcing the closure in a message on Facebook, a spokesman said: “It is with a very sad and heavy heart that we are having to give our beloved little shop up.

"We definitely cannot say we didn’t try but Intake clearly isn’t in need of a freshly baked, homemade food, cake and sweet shop.

The post added: “On the plus side we have been given an amazing opportunity, as we have been asked to take on the running of a cafe/kitchen in a local training college from September so we will still be around and you can still place orders for traybakes, cakes and cheesecakes & we will still be doing our buffets.

“The shop is now up for rent from September, we may possibly sell the business but without the name as we are taking that with us.”
