The restaurant made the announcement on its social media post, saying that it will remain open "month-to-month" until July thanks to a temporary rent reduction from its landlord.

Smiths also thanked the public for their  "support and kind messages" after it announced its planned closure.

"This wouldn't have been possible without you. We're so grateful for the chance to serve you a little longer," the restaurant wrote.

"Come by, say hi, and enjoy your favourite fish & chips while you still can. Let's make these last few months count."
