A cafe offering space for children to play as well as eat has closed down.
Rocket and Orange has been hugely popular with families since opening in Altrincham in 2016.
The venture was spearheaded by local couple Karim and Jenni Moolla, who developed the concept after a continued frustration with the poor quality offered to families in high street cafes.
But now the couple say family illness has forced them to close the Borough Road business, which is close to Stamford Park.
Karim told the M.E.N: "We’re sorry to close under these circumstances and would like to thank our family, friends, staff and customers for their support now and over the last few years."
A sign in the window informs customers of the closure and gives a number for anyone interested in buying the business.
As well as being popular for its menu - including kids' lunches served in Lego brick style lunchboxes - the place had become a regular meeting point for parents grabbing a slice of cake and a coffee after the school run.
It also hosts events and birthday parties too and its play opportunities, including a giant Lego table, reading corner, table football, giant Connect 4, crafts, interactive toys, were a big hit.
Interested parties are asked to contact EG&Co on 0161 358 0210.
