READY TO GO TAKE-AWAY BUSINESS
NORWICH, NORFOLK
An attractive opportunity to acquire the assets, fixtures and fittings of a recently refurbished takeaway in Norwich, together with a new lease and furnished three-bedroom accommodation above, providing an appealing proposition for an operator looking to establish their own venture while enjoying the convenience of living on site.
Previously trading as Thai To Go, the property has benefited from significant investment by the current owner, who is now relocating back abroad. The business has ceased trading, and the opportunity is therefore offered on an asset-only basis, with the included fixtures, fittings and equipment subject to an agreed inventory.
BUSINESS:
The current owner acquired the former Chinese takeaway in May 2025 and subsequently introduced the Thai To Go concept, offering a varied menu of freshly prepared Thai food that included curries, stir-fries, noodle and rice dishes, starters, soups, chef’s specials and vegan options. During its period of operation, the takeaway opened from 5.00 pm to 10.00 pm daily, with customers able to order through its website for collection.
With the premises already arranged and equipped for takeaway use, an incoming operator has the opportunity to re-establish the Thai food offering and bring the takeaway back into operation, subject to recruiting suitable staff and meeting the necessary operating requirements. Alternatively, the existing setup provides a practical foundation for introducing a different cuisine, branding and menu, with scope to adapt the space to suit the buyer’s own plans.
PREMISES:
The property occupies a prominent corner terraced position close to Norwich’s inner ring road and within walking distance of the city centre, placing it within reach of customers from the surrounding residential areas as well as those passing through the locality. The position benefits from pedestrian and vehicle traffic, with resident permit parking and short-stay customer parking available nearby.
The vendor advises that approximately £45,000–£50,000 has been invested in improving the property, which was previously in a run-down and unfurnished condition, with the refurbishment encompassing both the commercial premises and the accommodation above. Improvements and additions include new furnishings, a washing machine, water tank and toilet facilities, including a separate staff toilet, together with boiler servicing.
The commercial space provides the operational areas previously used by the takeaway, supported by useful basement or cellar storage for an incoming operator’s supplies and equipment.
A new lease is to be arranged at a proposed rent of £1,250 per calendar month, with the remaining terms to be agreed. The premises may also lend themselves to alternative uses, subject to any necessary planning permission and the landlord’s consent.
ACCOMMODATION:
Furnished accommodation is arranged on the first floor above the takeaway and comprises one large bedroom, one medium-sized bedroom and one smaller bedroom, together with a recently refurbished bathroom, separate WC, kitchen area and ample storage.
For an owner-operator or family, the accommodation offers the practical benefit of combining home and work in one location, reducing the need for a daily commute and allowing close involvement in the running of the takeaway, subject to the agreed lease terms.
