A TYNE Valley sandwich shop has marked 11 years of business.
Karen Robinson opened Top Nosh, based at Haugh Lane Industrial Estate in Hexham, in 2012.
She had originally planned to buy a pub but the sale fell through.
Karen said: "It's great I've been going for 11 years now.
"We've expanded, we do more range of food than when we first started. We do a lot more outside catering.
"For the tenth anniversary last year, we rebranded the shop, so we changed the logos and got new staff uniforms.
"We're carrying on the way we are, adding new specials as much as we can. We're quite content with where we are and what we're doing.
"I love food, I love making new things and trying different things," Karen said.
Karen opened a second sandwich shop, Top Nosh Too, on Hencotes in 2018. She sold the branch in 2020.
Top Nosh offers a wide range of hot and cold sandwiches, salad boxes and boxed meals.
The business is open from 8am until 2pm Monday to Thursday, and 7.30am until 2pm on Friday.
It is open 8am until 12pm on Saturday and closed on Sunday.
