A popular Belfast City Centre eatery has announced that it has closed with immediate effect.
Mikeys Deli opened on Bridge Street in 2012 and quickly became notorious for their "artery clogging" burgers, hot dogs and their infamous Dog Bowl.
Announcing their closure on Facebook, the eatery blamed the lack of a functioning government at Stormont as part of the reason for their closure.

"It's with great sadness I have to announce Mikeys will no longer be trading from Bridge Street, Belfast," they said.
"It has been one hell of a Rollercoaster, thank you all for riding it with us.
"The support we have had over the last 11 years is more than I could ever dreamt of.
"I can't say thank you enough. To all the customers, staff and people we have met along the way, I salute you.
"It could be to do with the huge hike in operating costs, the constant rising price of food, the lack of support from a non-sitting government, a decaying city centre, the seemingly impossible task of recruiting or maybe it was just time.
"This isn't goodbye, it's just Hasta la Vista Baby!"
