Beloved Prestwich neighbourhood bar All The Shapes announces closure

A neighbourhood bar and restaurant that has been at the heart of Prestwich’s food and drink scene for a decade has announced its closure.

All The Shapes is a much-loved local haunt, serving quality cocktails, coffees, and brunch dishes across its two-storey space.

It’s always been popular whenever the sun comes out, thanks to its sizeable pavement seating area and its cosy terrace out back.

And the staff always have bakes and Tunnocks Caramel wafers on the counter to pair with your flat white.

But despite being such a core part of Prestwich, All The Shapes has made the ‘difficult decision’ to close after 11 years on Warwick Street.

They wrote that it’s time to ‘step away from hospitality and reset our lives’.

All The Shapes then announced that the business would be up for sale, with the hopes that someone will snap up this fabulous site.

Their full statement said: “Hi everyone. We have some news, and it’s quite emotional.

“We have made the difficult decision to move on from our All The Shapes. Some of you will already know about this, but we wanted to get it out there officially so that we can start to say our farewells good and proper over the next few weeks.

“It’s been 11 beautiful years at ATS but, for some personal reasons, we need to step away from hospitality and reset our lives. It is the right time for us.

“However, listen up! We are selling the place! Would anyone like to take it up? How about a group/couple of you? You’ll get a turnkey business with everything in place to get up and running. It’s a beautiful building, long term lease (all negotiable) with fair and committed landlords and, as you know, a prime Prestwich spot.

“Quite frankly we need to move with ease and speed so we are open to offers and conversations. Please get in contact via the DMs and we will be here to answer anything you need.

“Thank you for being excellent.”
