Food truck team taking over popular Halifax cafe that is 'local institution'

A Halifax cafe has new owners.

Preston Martin’s Cafe, on Sod House Green in Ovenden, has been up for sale since July.

Now food truck team God’s Own Grub have announced they are the new owners.

They say they will continue with their food truck, which travels to different events offering “heavenly burgers, crispy fried chicken and loaded fries”.
