The restaurant occupies an outstanding position on the High Street in the very heart of Beckenham’s thriving town centre. Located next door to Costa Coffee, other nearby occupiers include national multiples such as Boots, Superdrug, Starbucks and Sainsburys, as well as a wide variety of other local independent retailers. Less than 10 miles to the south of Central London, Beckenham is a desirable and highly populated town with a catchment area of more than 45,000 people.
The property has a ground floor area in excess of 1000 sqft with customer seating for 54 and there is further outdoor seating for 8 at the front. The restaurant has very good kitchen and preparation facilities along with a built-in bar to the rear. There are additional storage facilities at first floor level. With a pleasant and modern ambience, the restaurant has been fitted and equipped to a high standard throughout including a 3-pan Preston & Thomas frying range.
Established by the current owners in 1998, Big Catch has built an excellent reputation offering high-quality fish & chip fayre together with a restaurant menu including brunch, burgers and fish/seafood specialities. Along with many positive online reviews and high customer ratings on both Tripadvisor and Google, the business also holds a 5-star food hygiene rating.
Currently trading Monday to Saturday 11.00am – 10.00pm, we are advised that takings are between £12,000 – £14,000 per week comprising approximately 65% restaurant sales, 25% takeaway and 10% delivery. Already a profitable business, new owners may see potential to further increase sales through opening on Sundays and/or developing the delivery services.
All in all, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a well-established, upmarket and profitable Fish & Chip Restaurant in a great town-centre location. The business has been in the same hands for 25 years and is now for sale only due to retirement. With the benefit of a new 20-year lease, new owners of the restaurant will be able to further develop and build upon the fine reputation already established. Fitted, equipped and presented to an excellent standard, this is a high-quality business and a viewing is highly recommended.
