A fish and chip shop in the heart of the Norwich Lanes turns 100 next month and there will be a special offer to celebrate.
Couple Duane Dibartolomeo, 65, and Christian Motta, 56, have been at the helm of Grosvenor Fish Bar in Lower Goat Lane since 2012.
Mr Motta previously worked there when he was a teenager and his dad Mauro, who passed away in 2022, ran it.

Its history as The Grosvenor goes back to 1924 when a hardware store was turned into a café serving fish.
Fast forward to 2024 and it is a thriving takeaway and restaurant that offers much more than just traditional fare.
Customers can also enjoy specials such as cod tacos, squid rings with aioli and even their take on an afternoon tea called High Sea.
Earlier this year, it was given a refresh that included new furniture and vibrant artwork.
Mr Motta said: "When my dad ran the chippy it was always very traditional with five things on the menu and Artex on the walls.
"When we took it on we wanted to bring it up to date and we like to introduce new things to keep customers interested."

To celebrate 100 years, they are offering a regular portion of chips for 100p, or £1, from October 7 to 13.
The normal price is £3 and it will not be available on delivery.
Speaking about why the business has stood the test of time, Mr Dibartolomeo said: "We do our take on tradition and are reliable - you know you are going to get a good meal."
Mr Motta added: "Despite challenges, like fish prices going through the roof, we have kept our food affordable.
"You can get a meal for the cost of a coffee and sandwich in other places."
