About this business

Genuine sale after 9 years of ownershio due to our clients 100 mile daily commute, hence the limited openings and as he works alone the cafe is not being used as he cannot devote sufficient time. Well presented semi-detached freehold property equipped with a 4 pan Kiremko frying range. The 2 bedroom living accommodation is centrally heated and double glazed. Prominent location within popular village with new housing development in close proximity which should help to further inprove takings. Excellent potential which will be evident upon viewing.

Trading figures

We are advised that weekly takings average £4,500 including deliveries, offering basic traditional menu on only 28 frying hours per week. The café has been underused because the current owner operates alone and has been unable to devote sufficient time to both the takeaway and café. With longer opening hours and the café re-opened we would expect trade to rise significantly. This potential will be evident on viewing.

Special remarks

Rosens are delighted to offer for sale this very well presented unopposed freehold fish & chip shop which has been under the careful ownership of our client for past 9 years and is now being sold due to the long commute of 100 miles daily. This is the main reason for the limited openings of only 28 hours frying yet maintaining a good income which could easily be increased with longer openings and re-opening the café. Well worth an early inspection.
