**Particulars**
Coming new to the market is this busy and popular fish and chip shop, situated
in a busy parade of shops and surrounded by chimney pots. Presented in an
excellent condition with all new equipment installed in 2022, including a
high - spec 4 - pan digital range; meaning a buyer should have little, if no
capital outlay to spend on the business in the short - term.
With the added benefit of a 2 bedroom duplex apartment above and private
parking with 2 garages to the rear, this thriving business really does tick
all the boxes if you are looking to take on a fish and chip shop.
Given all that is on offer, we expect there to be strong interest in this one
and would recommend you book in a viewing at your earliest convenience.
**The business itself**
Having been acquired by the current owner approximately 3 years ago, and
having had significant investment spent on it since then, it is now only
coming to market due to a change in family circumstances meaning the owners
now have to relocate.
Located in a residential area in a parade of shops, with a good mix of
business types including Spar and the Post Office means that there are always
many potential customers passing by; particularly as there is free public
parking to the front.
Takings for the 9 months to the end of December show an average weekly
turnover in excess of £6, 500 net, to include sales from shop customers and
online via Just Eat, Deliveroo, Food Hub and Uber Eats.
**Premises**
_all measurements are approximate and for guidance only. _
As stated; the premises have recently been fitted out at great expense to a
very high standard, with all new equipment installed only last year. Together
with the well laid out design and spacious areas for service and preparation,
all gives a very pleasant work environment which is easy and cost effective to
maintain.
The glazed frontage benefits from stylish signage with a digital menu screen
and this continues through as you enter into the shop, as you will see from
the pictures. There is quality floor tiling, clean walls and feature coloured
lighting; all adding to the upmarket and clean feel. The new 4 - pan digital
range divides the customer area from the staff area with a service counter to
the side and epos till. To the rear of this main room you will find a
stainless - steel fitted cooking area with extraction over, providing a chicken
roisterer, kebab spit, griddle plate and bain - maire, together with under -
counter fridges and a drinks display fridge, all with further digital menu
screens above.
There is an open doorway through to the prep. Rooms with the front part
providing a 6 - ring hob with extraction over, microwaves, stainless - steel work
surfaces and tall stainless - steel fridge and freezer. To the side are built in
storage cupboards as well as an office and staff toilets. To the rear is a wet
room for chip prep. Including a peeler, chipper, double sink and door to the
rear parking area.
**Accommodation**
_all measurements are approximate and for guidance only. _
Via a separate external staircase to the side you will find the residential
accommodation above the shop, this being situated at the end of the terrace.
At entrance level there is a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with space for a
washing machine, fridge freezer and dishwasher, together with a good - size
lounge overlooking the front and with space for a dining table as well. There
is also a useful under - stairs cupboard and cloakroom on this level. Upstairs
