    About this property

      Fish & chip restaurantwalcott, norfolk

      Kingfisher Fish Bar is an established traditional fish and chip shop situated in Walcott on the Norfolk coast. The business serves local residents, repeat customers, visitors and holidaymakers, providing a balanced customer base with increased demand during the main visitor season.

      The menu includes fish, chips, complete meals, sausages, side dishes, sauces, other takeaway favourites and cold drinks. Customers can order food to take away or use the indoor and outdoor seating areas. The combination of an established food business, equipped trading premises and freehold ownership presents a substantial acquisition opportunity for an owner-operator or an experienced buyer within the catering sector.

      Business:

      The business operates as a traditional fish and chip shop throughout the year. Trading hours are adapted to seasonal demand, with longer opening periods during the summer and school holidays. The business is currently closed on Mondays and does not trade during every available daytime or evening period, providing practical scope for a purchaser to review and potentially extend the existing schedule.

      The operation is supported by two full-time and seven part-time members of staff, together with the owners. Some part-time employees work during the busier summer months, allowing staffing levels to respond to seasonal variations in customer numbers.

      Food production is supported by a Hewigo main range with automatic oil-changing equipment and a further Hewigo double-pan chip range. Each range has its own extraction system. Additional operational equipment includes a bain-marie, drinks fridges, kitchen fridges and freezers, frozen-storage facilities and a heated coffee machine.

      The current owners acquired the business in December 2021 and have continued to serve its established local and visitor customer base. Its recognised trading name, coastal position, range of catering equipment and flexible staffing structure provide an incoming owner with an operational platform from which to continue developing the business. The sale is being brought to the market due to the owners’ retirement.

      Premises:

      The freehold premises provide 36 internal covers and outside seating for approximately 45 customers. Facilities include a service area, customer toilets with disabled provision, ceiling heaters and side access. The well-equipped kitchen leads to a potato room and is supported by a utility area, staff room with WC and covered external store. Rear buildings house a backup generator and additional frozen storage. A static caravan and parking for approximately six vehicles are also situated to the rear.

      The sale includes the freehold interest, goodwill, fixtures, fittings and equipment, with stock purchased separately at valuation.
