In partnership with her son George Masters, she is now opening the shop in Bridge Street that combines Greek and Mediterranean cuisine with the traditional British staple.

They have transformed the shop into an open-plan takeaway and deli, where customers can see their meals being prepared.

“We hope this will add to the overall experience of the customers’ visit,” said Mr Masters.

The opening yesterday (Wednesday, July 13) comes after several months converting the shop after they took it over earlier in the year.

Mr Masters said: "It's been a lot of hard work, but now we're ready, we can't wait to get going."
