The owners of the Dale End Café in Coalbrookdale announced last month that the business would be shutting "for good".

A spokesperson for the café said on social media that the closure would "bring to an end its life as a cafe". 

In the same breath, they moved to reassure customers that the team behind the business weren't going anywhere. 

The site reopened last week under a new name - Crust and Crumbs - and with a new menu.

Customers can expect a range of hot foods and drinks at the rebranded venue with options including its classic hot breakfast sandwiches and cakes. 

A brand new sandwich bar with a selection of different breads, meats, salads and sauces is now also available. 

Pancake stacks for those with a sweet tooth first thing in the morning are also now on offer. 

The team behind the business thanked customers for a hugely successful first day of trade under the name.

A Facebook post said: “Our first day yesterday was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who popped in and said hello!"

It continued to say that the sandwich bar - especially new tiger rolls - had proved popular.
