A long-established freehold fish & chip restaurant and takeaway in Roche, offered with all fixtures and catering equipment included. The business has traded since circa 1980s and recently fitted a new four‑pan range and many upgraded appliances, supporting continued operation from day one. Annual turnover for the previous year was £192,000, with a strong local and seasonal tourist customer base.
The single‑storey detached premises provide a large overall footprint (approx. 4,227 sq ft) with a restaurant area, takeaway counter, commercial kitchen, prep and storage rooms, office, two customer toilets and rear parking for around eight cars — a valuable asset in this small‑town location. Main heating is oil‑fired boiler and the building is stone‑built (pre‑1900) which may lack modern wall insulation. EPC rating D.
This unit suits owner‑operators, multi‑site franchise buyers or investors seeking immediate trading income. The layout and equipment also allow conversion to many cuisines; the listing notes potential for Indian or other takeaway concepts. Buyers should note the vendor is retiring; some staff are retained by the business.
Material considerations: the area is classified as deprived with ageing local industry workers, but crime is low and transport links are good (close to A30 and Roche rail). The property shows recent equipment investment but the building is older construction and may require ongoing maintenance or insulation improvements. Opening hours are currently limited and seasonal tourist trade supports peak income months.
