"This shop has been on our radar since 2016 when we rebranded Packet Bridge! It’s a huge milestone for us as both a business and as a family we are extremely proud!
"The shop requires a new lease of life so will be closed over the summer for a full refurbishment which will make it unrecognisable to its customers, as it will be done to the same standard as Westgate Fish & Chips.
"We will keep you all updated with our progress as we get to work on the refurb."
