A NEW cafe has opened in Westhoughton operating out of what used to be a former sandwich shop.

The former Kath’s Sandwich Bar has been refurbished by Keith Barlow and wife Hilary and is now open as Food Love.

Mr Barlow is a former master butcher who ran his own shop, The Bird and Beef, in Westhoughton, for 20 years.

He sold it in 2004 and then managed the Howfener and Wheatsheaf pubs.

He will now handle food while Mrs Barlow will deal with events and administration.
