One of the UK's best fish and chip shops is to close for an additional day each week in a bid to curb rising costs.
The Plaice to Be boss Joe Goudie admitted that challenges facing the industry led to the decision to remain closed on Tuesdays.
The move means the Kilmarnock chippy will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
The Stonyhill Avenue takeaway has been consistently voted as one of the best fish and chip shops in the UK.
But with businesses facing multiple crises with the rising costs of produce and soaring energy prices, the chippy will only be open on very busy days.
Joe posted on the Plaice to Be Facebook page: "I have made the decisions to close on Tuesdays again until further notice due to serious rising costs the fish and chip industry and many others are facing just now.
"It is best for my business that we are open only on very busy days. I hope you all understand we will be open Wednesday to Sunday until further notice. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
"Thanks to all my customers who support us every week."
The stark revelation comes after a boss at Brownings the Bakers lifted the lid on the eye-watering price of energy and ingredients the award-winning bakery is facing.
