The Leverington branch, which will create two jobs, will follow March’s lead with a delivery service coming soon.

Mr Cunha said: “It has been challenging running the business in March but we have put in a big effort and turned it around. Setting up another branch in Leverington seems a good way to grow the business.”

Mr Cunha moved to Fenland from Portugal 13 years ago. Before he took over Riverside Fish and Chips, he worked at a fish and chip shop in Ramsey.

Now, he wants to expand the business step-by-step so he can one day pass it on to his daughter.

He said: “I love it here, It is a very different culture to Portugal but I love talking to the customers.

“My plan is to keep growing the business. Hopefully in 18 to 24 months I will be in the position to set up another shop and, one day, I will be able to leave the business to my daughter.”
