The owners of a Grays eatery are celebrating after being included in the Good Food Guide less than two years after the business got off the ground.

Vincent Tice, 31, and Jamie Brooks, 26, are brothers-in-law who run Bruv's Sandwich Bar in Orsett Road.

The shop was selected following extensive market research in the area which gave it enough points to be considered for the guide.

The book is published at the end of this month, and the partners are already looking to improve on the winning formula.

Vincent said: "I would like to think this will increase our popularity.

"We've already got a strong customer base, but hopefully people who haven't been too familiar with us and our products will try us out to see if we're as good as we say we are."

The shop is also hoping to develop its products more with some help from their customers.
