Snack lovers are sad to see that a city centre pasty shop has closed.
Posters on neighbourhood chat group NextDoor commiserated with each other on the loss of Cornish Kitchen in Oxford's Queen Street.
One said: "Seriously! What's happened to the pasty shop in Queen Street???? Running a few errands in the area this lunchtime, desparate for a pasty and there it wasn't.... GONE!!!! Why?"

The Clarendon Centre is being redeveloped by Lothbury Investment Management to provide student accommodation, lab space, shops and offices, with a new public square and a link into historic Frewin Court.
Buildings in Cornmarket Street and others on Queen Street have made way for the development.
North Bailey House next door to the 1980s shopping centre, which is also owned by Lothbury, is getting a facelift and will become prime office space.
Lothbury's multimillion pound redesign of the shopping centre was first announced in 2020.
The coronavirus pandemic had such a negative effect on footfall that its owners decided to diversify and no longer use it exclusively for retail.
Cornish Kitchen could not be contacted.
