A Nantwich Thai restaurant has permanently closed down after proudly serving the local community for 18 years.

Aroi-Thai, Pillory Street, which first opened in March 2008, closed its doors for the final time on Sunday 5 April.

Operated by Chris Vaughan, Sunshine and team, the tapas restaurant offered authentic Thai food and decor, which included wood carvings from Chiang Mai.

Despite not citing a reason for closure, Aroi-Thai thanked all of its customers for creating memories and being part of its story.
