A popular fish and chip shop is to re-open under the ownership of two brothers who already run takeaways in Morecambe and Bolton-le-Sands.

Cem and Cihan Öktem have taken on Jingling Lane Fish & Chips in Kirkby Lonsdale, after also opening Priory Plaice Fish and Chips in Ulverston in April.

Öktem Kitchens has been in the industry for 15 years after taking over Packet Bridge Fish and Chips in Bolton-le-Sands in February 2008.

They then took on Westgate Fish & Chips in Morecambe in November 2019.

On their Packet Bridge Facebook page they said: "We are absolutely delighted to get the keys to shop number 4 - Jingling Lane Fish & Chips in Kirkby Lonsdale!

"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."
