Roadside restaurant chain Little Chef is likely to shelve a planned sale of the business and offload up to 20 of its sites instead.
R Capital, the private-equity house that owns Little Chef, is understood to have opened talks with Welcome Break and Moto, the motorway service station operators, about selling them a number of restaurants.
Between 15 and 20 of about 200 sites are likely to be sold off.
