A FISH and chip shop is shut because of a delay to the delivery of new fryers.

On the door of Posh Fish in Headington, it explains that the shop is closed 'due to circumstances beyond control'.

The owner, Manny Malta, explained that by law a deep-fryer needs to be replaced every five years.

He said: "We had a fire a few years ago and we don't want the same thing happening again, the manufactures of the new fryer have been busy, that's why there's a delay with it opening."

The shop will re-open on Saturday.
