The owner of a popular Belfast deli and bakery says he is "broken" after having to close the business due to rising costs.
Dale Tucker, owned Tuckers on the Falls Road for four years, serving freshly prepped meals each day, with people travelling from across Belfast on a Sunday for the carvery menu. Tuckers now has the shutters down, and a 'To Let' sign above the sign, a sight which brings back raw emotions to Dale.
As others in the takeaway and hospitality industry face similar stresses, Dale is speaking out in hope that it can encourage others to do the same. He said he wouldn't want anyone else to go through what he has.
