An unusual opportunity to purchase this leasehold fish and chip business within the ever-popular historic Harbour Town of Yarmouth. “The Blue Crab” has operated for many years and is only now available for sale due to our client’s future personal plans, and it should be viewed to be fully appreciated. Our clients trade only in freshly-cooked takeaway fish and chips, for which they have an enviable reputation both within the locality and with visiting sailors and tourists, with all food hand-cooked to order and to the highest of standards in individual fryers. The property is licensed, and currently employs one full-time and four part-time staff members, with current operating hours of 12-2pm and 5-8pm(8:30pm on Fridays), open from Tuesday-Saturday inclusive. These are out-of-season hours, and can be reviewed and reassessed during the main season. The property is still fitted for purpose as a restaurant if required, and an inventory of equipment that is included can be provided on the occasion of a sale. Turnover and accounts show good year-on-year turnover and net profit, and can be discussed, but only with bona fide applicants and their professional advisors, and release of these may be subject to signature of a confidentiality agreement. Understood to be held on the balance of a 20-year lease from 2015, within the security provisions of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954, Part II. A new lease may be available, with appropriate terms appropriate negotiation. We understand that the current passing rent is £12,000 p.a.x. Price guide for the business is £85,000 Leasehold.
