The company behind Franco Manca and The Real Greek is set to be snapped up in a £93 million takeover deal.

Fulham Shore’s independent board members plan to unanimously recommend that shareholders back the bid, and the deal has already got backing from investors holding 48% of the company’s shares.

The deal will see Japan’s Toridoll, a £1.5 billion giant with 5,500 stores around the world, take over the fast-growing food company.
