A bakery in Burton Joyce has closed its doors for good with the owner telling customers the stress ‘just isn’t worth it’ on social media.

Steph’s Takeaway and Bakery, which is based on Main Street, announced the sad news on their Facebook page on Thursday (13).

She said that since opening a number of customers had raised complaints about the barista machine she was using and the space available in the cafe, which was called Bumbles when it first opened.

She then turned it into a takeaway only selling bakery products and renamed it Steph’s Takeaway and bakery.

But despite the changes, not many people showed their support for the new venture.

She wrote:”I started selling bread which a lot of customers wanted, and the first day was great – and then it stopped. Bread was being thrown away. Some people are saying I never gave the shop a chance but most of them are people that never used me anyway.

Steph also runs a successful tea room also called Bumbles in Epperstone

“So, due to running another successful business that was having to keep this one going I have made that decision to close down Burton Joyce.

“The stress of it all just isn’t worth it.

Steph added: “I hope someone goes into the shop and can give Burton Joyce what they need.
