Dessert shop Pretty Puds has been supplying the town's residents with a range of delicious sweet treats for the past three years.

Owned by Angela and James Hughes and managed by Angela's sister, Sam Parker, running the business has been a proper family affair.

Over the three years, four sisters - Sam, Sharon, Angela, and Mandy - have worked at the High Street shop, along with two of their nieces.

But the family have decided to finish and now new owners - Akshay and Katie Sharma - have bought the business, which will close for a few days before planning to re-open to the public on Thursday, December 5.
