Martin Taylor has grown Garden Room Bistro, in Market Street, to become a “social hub” for the local community since he took it over three years ago.
But as the 53-year-old’s health declines, Martin said he is looking to sell the business, a former coffee shop.

Speaking to the Shropshire Star, Martin, who has decades of experience in hospitality, said: “We just stuck with what we do best and we've got a really good client base here. Lots of older members come in, and we have a laugh and a joke with them and they enjoy it.
“But sadly, because of my health, it's becoming a struggle to do it, so we decided it's time to sell up and move on.
“We've been really lucky with the people supporting us. The customers are really good.
