A Newport-on-Tay bar and restaurant is for sale after its owner announced his retirement plans.

Manuel Americo Rodrigues and his wife Maria have run Brig O Tay and the Taste of Portugal since 2010.

When asked why he has decided to retire, Manuel said: “It feels like it is our time now.

“I’m getting old, I’m 79. I want to enjoy the rest of my life with my wife.

“We’ve made a lot of friends and now we want to have the time to do things ourselves.

“It’s a good business, I hope someone does decide to take it over.”
