North East's 'first' dessert drive-thru service enjoys sweet success

A Washington business - which boasts restaurant-quality food at a takeaway price - is enjoying its just desserts after following up four years of hard work with an expansion that is proving a huge success with customers.

Crave 4 Desserts in Washington, Sunderland, has been making its name with the likes of cheesecakes, brownies, waffles and traybakes after being set up by Imran Ahmed in 2018 and - despite the challenges of lockdown and now the cost of living crisis - the popular delivery and collection service is seeing the extra benefits of having added dine-in options plus a drive-thru which it says is the first in the North East.

And its customers are proving only too keen to make the drive to its Swan Road unit where they can pick up their sweet treats without leaving the car. For those who do, there are sit-in tables in the premises which Crave 4 Desserts moved into from a smaller unit nearby.
