Hilton Smythe are pleased to introduce to the market Chippy Bob's fish and chip shop and separate Palatine café, complete with owner accommodation. The business is reluctantly offered to the market due to ill health, and has enjoyed many years of successful trade at its current, prime location. Our client has owned the business for 4 years.

Chippy Bob's offers traditional fish and chips, whilst the café, supplies its customers with high quality hot and cold food and beverages. The café benefits from a large serve over counter and has all of the necessary and expected facilities. The café could easily be improved with evening trade, baking of its own bread etc, the fish and chip shop would also benefit from evening trade, which the current owner has not pursued.

The business could be easily converted into a restaurant or maintained as an investment opportunity dependent upon a purchaser's requirement. The business and property have a huge amount of potential for growth and development, for the discerning purchaser.
