Hilton Smythe are pleased to have been given the opportunity to manage the sale of this Busy Fish and Chip shop which is an immaculate business with a fantastic reputation amongst residents. This is a superb opportunity to take on a high turnover local business in an area teeming with regular customers.

There has been a Fish and Chip shop at this site since the early 1960’s and the current owner has run it successfully and lucratively for the last fifteen years or so and it has flourished under his ownership with many, many regular customers.

The business is now being sold, albeit reluctantly and with a heavy heart only so that he can take a well-earned retirement and spend more time with his grandchildren and family. He is keen to see his beloved business pass to an ambitious and entrepreneurial new owner.
