Location:

The business is located on the main road running through this village to the east of Durham City, just off the A1(M). The village is easily accessible, and this fish and chip shop has ample free on street parking directly outside.

The immediate area comprises predominantly private houses but there is also a broad selection of retailers on the street including hair and beauty salons, a convenience store, café and pharmacy.

Premises Details:

This long-established fish and chip shop has been trading for many years, but only under our client’s ownership since 2019 at which point the premises were refurbished.

The premises are in excellent order throughout and the service area has been styled to reflect a traditional fish and chip shop with a compact menu which reflects the theme. A new Henry Nuttall 3 pan frying range was installed in 2024, and this state-of-the-art range should have a long lifespan.

The current menu is compact, and our client ensures that the quality of the produce remains high which is reflected by the loyal customer base and the strong feedback via social media. In 2024 the shop was awarded “Best Fish And Chip Shop” in Durham at the England’s Business Awards.

The current business model concentrates on its retail offer and there is currently no delivery service. This could easily be incorporated and there is direct access from the shop into a rear lane and parking area to assist a delivery service.

This fish and chip shop is relatively unopposed, and viewing is recommended to appreciate the finish and scope.
