A long-established, family-run fish and chip shop in in the sought-after Wye Valley region, set in a busy residential area popular with both locals and passing tourist traffic. The property sits in a highly visible position with free roadside parking, nearby bus links, and no direct competition within a mile, giving it a rare local monopoly.
The business currently operates as a traditional takeaway with a simple phone ordering system. There is significant scope to introduce delivery apps, extend the limited opening hours, and rebuild the strong weekly sales that were achieved before the temporary health-related closure. Locals are keen for the doors to reopen, and the shop has held a strong following for many years.
The commercial space is compact, efficient and well equipped, including a 2-pan Preston & Thomas range, chipper, peeler, fridges, freezer, stainless steel prep areas, and an oil filtration unit. External CCTV is in place. The business forms part of a freehold property that includes private owner’s accommodation with 2-3 bedrooms, lounge, dining room, family bathroom and a rear garden with a decked summer house. The accommodation offers a genuine opportunity for Airbnb or holiday let income if not required by the incoming operator.
Financially, the business has demonstrated stable performance, with turnover of £127,251, gross profit of £69,528, and an adjusted net profit of £58,287, despite operating only three days a week. There is clear potential for a motivated new owner to grow the business back to - and beyond - previous levels.
