    Business Description
    Veritas Business Sales is delighted to offer for sale The Big Fish, a longstanding fish and chip takeaway and restaurant situated on Bath Road in Cheltenham. Established in 1929, the business has been under our clients' ownership for the past nine years and is now offered for sale so they can concentrate on other business interests.
    During their ownership, our clients have made significant investment in the premises, equipment, fixtures and fittings. We are advised that all items included in the sale are fully paid for, providing an incoming owner with a well-equipped operation. The business is overseen by the owner, with daily operations supported by nine part-time members of staff. Our clients advise that weekly turnover is approximately £14,000, with around 70% generated through walk-in takeaway and restaurant sales. The remaining 30% comes through Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo. The menu includes traditional fish and chips, chicken, burgers, pies, sausages, saveloys, kebabs and souvlaki, complemented by a selection of side dishes, condiments and cold drinks.
    The Big Fish enjoys a strong local reputation and an established base of regular customers. There may be scope to increase sales through extended opening hours and further menu development. With its long trading history, established customer base and self-contained two-bedroom accommodation, this is an attractive opportunity to acquire a high-turnover food business in an established Cheltenham location.
    Early viewing is highly recommended.
