A North East fish and chip shop is up for sale after its owner announced they were stepping down following 10 years of serving customers.
The owner of Portrack Fish & Chip Shop in Stockton announced on Tuesday (September 30), that the shop was hitting the market.
In a post on the shop's Facebook page, the owner said: "After much consideration, I have made the difficult decision to put my fish and chip shop up for sale due to personal reasons.
"It has been a big part of my life for the past 10 years, and I am now looking for someone who may be interested in taking the business forward."

The business is popular with Teessiders with online reviews praising the shop's freshly cooked food, friendly service and traditional fish and chips, helping it build a loyal following.
The shop has traded on Portrack Lane for a decade, on one of Stockton's best-known roads, as the area has evolved into a residential and commercial hub.

The sale leaves questions over who will take on the established independent takeaway and keep serving its customers.
The owner has not revealed whether they plan to remain involved in the business until a sale is completed, but has encouraged anyone interested in taking over the shop to get in touch directly.
