She said: “It has been amazing. We had a few from 8:30 when we opened and it didn’t stop until about 2:30. We have been getting pasties and lardy cakes from our Fareham shop to try and keep up and it has been amazing. Everyone has been very happy.

"Everything has gone, apart from a couple of cakes and some bread.”
