Staff at Gracies, on Market Place, are now serving rolls, sandwiches, cakes and soup, a few yards away at Miss B’s Tearooms.

Owner Jolli Waterland said she had no other option to close the Gracies unit following a wrangle with her energy supplier, which would have seen bills soar from £5,000 a year to £20,000 for the same useage.

She told the Melton Times: “I have now closed the doors and set up Gracies in the back room at Miss B's.”

Tracy said: “We have had a lot of support over this and we are running the business as normal from here.”
