Location:
This business opportunity is located within a busy parade of shops in the heart of Hillheads Estate, just off Hillheads Road in Westerhope. Other tenants include a vets, convenience store and sandwich bar.
Westerhope is a popular suburb of Newcastle on the western outskirts of the City centre comprising a broad mix of residential housing. The area benefits from good road links via the A69 and A1 (Western Bypass).
Business:
This is a modernised unit which was refurbished and refitted in 2017 prior to opening as a traditional fish and chip shop. The equipment was new at that point and no expense was spared with a Kiremko 3 pan gas range installed and a good selection of other items.
The premises are in good order with a spacious waiting and service area to the front plus a potential seating section which is currently not utilised. To the rear there is another large preparation space and the additional equipment includes chippers, peelers, stainless steel worktops plus complementary kit.
In the interests of fair competition, the landlord would resist the unit being used for the sale of pizzas or Chinese cuisine as these food offers are already represented in the parade.
This is an opportunity possibly suited to a couple or partnership who are willing to operate the business hands on and develop all aspects, including deliveries.
