A popular Crewe town centre dessert shop has closed down after "two years of hard work" - following a decision made by its venue's management team.

Swirly Pearls, Crewe Market Hall, shut down for good on Sunday 21 May - two years after launching alongside the venue's reopening in May 2021.

Owned by Nathan Tice, from Cleveland, USA, Swirly Pearls served the likes of ice creams, waffles, milkshakes and ice cream sundaes.

Swirly Pearls' former unit is expected to be taken over by a new trader in the coming months.
