FREEHOLD FISH & CHIP SHOP - STALHAM, NORFOLK This established takeaway, having been in the same ownership for nearly 35 years, operates as a combined fish and chip shop and chicken shop, trading from one large unit which offers separate customer shops and service lines while functioning as one operation. The arrangement brings in steady repeat custom from homes and workplaces in the surrounding area as well as the strong tourist trade, supported by a broad hot-food menu prepared in dedicated cooking areas.

The dual-trade setup provides more than one revenue route, allowing the business to appeal to different tastes and customer habits throughout the week. As the current model revolves solely around walk-in trade, there is clear room to widen the customer base through delivery platforms, online ordering or extended hours. With defined front-of-house areas and extensive cooking and preparation space to the rear, the premises offer strong capacity and a solid foundation for operators looking to grow output and diversify the service offering.

BUSINESS:

The business delivers a varied takeaway range across its two linked operations, offering classic fish and chips alongside cooked poultry, kebabs, burgers and other hot-food lines served from the adjoining chicken shop.

Both sides are equipped for consistent, high-volume production, with multi-pan ranges, pressure fryers, grills and hot-hold equipment supporting reliable service during peak periods. Ample refrigeration, stainless-steel preparation space and multiple prep rooms ensure an organised workflow and effective food handling throughout the day.

The two units connect at the rear, enabling staff to move easily between areas and maintain smooth service across both counters. A dedicated potato preparation room assists with throughput and supports the production standards expected in a busy takeaway environment.
