A Warwick-based bakery and coffee shop has closed its doors after a year in the town's Old Square.

Spoon and Whisk closed last week, after business became difficult to keep going in September.

Its owners announced in a statement on social media that the decision was made very quickly and came with a "whirlwind" of emotion and sadness.

"It's no headline news that business is impossible for some of us right now, and unfortunately, we hit that wall at the end of September

"Warwick has been such an amazing town to be a part of, and I will be forever grateful to everyone who has visited us and supported us from afar.

"Its been lovely getting to know you all, and I am so proud of the little corner of Old Square we created and how much of a success it was — seeing you all enjoy our bakes and coffee meant the world."

The business began back in lockdown 2020, with Postbox Bakes, which is something the owner said they are lucky to have to "fall back on."

It was then expanded to Warwick, with the physical store, Spoon and Whisk, located in the heart of the town.

The statement concluded: "But for now, it's time for a rethink, a pause, and a very large glass of wine.

"Thanks again to you all for making Spoon & Whisk what it was."
