A spokesperson for Humpit released a statement on their Facebook page that said: "It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce we are closing.

"After much consideration due to circumstances out of our control, we have come to the very difficult decision that our final trading day will be Saturday 26th June.

"Unfortunately, we are unable to sustain operations given the devastating economic situation caused by Covid-19.

"We want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support. We couldn't have got this far without you."

Northampton's branch of Humpit opened in 2019 and quickly became renowned for their vegan and plant-based food.

The business saw over 270 customers try their falafel on their first day of operation on October 7, 2019.
