Location
This popular hot food business is ideally positioned on the main road running through Westerhope which is a popular village suburb on the western outskirts of Newcastle upon Tyne.
The premises form part of a small secondary shopping parade opposite the ALDI supermarket and the BP fuel station. The business has the benefit of pull in parking to the front for up to 4 cars.
Business
This shop was originally a Bowers of Newcastle butcher and the lease was acquired in 2021 by a new owner who then refurbished and reconfigured the unit into a modern, clean and efficient hot food outlet.
The premises are extensive and provide a service and waiting area to the front with a kitchen directly behind. At the rear of this kitchen there is an additional prep area with a walk-in fridge and separate cold freezer store.
The current business offers a broad menu that includes pizza, kebabs and burgers and the outlet is listed with all the major delivery apps as well as having its own bespoke website. Social media reviews and feedback are positive and there is still potential for new owners to develop the business further. The current trading hours reflect the owner’s other business commitments but they believe that there is a demand for a lunchtime or an all day offer.
Permitted trading hours are from 11am in the morning 7 days a week and this is a rare “turn key” opportunity where an early viewing is recommended.
