CoGoGo are delighted to offer to the market the Happy Cod fish and chip shop, purchased by our client in 2012 and only now offered to the market due to our client’s poor health. This well-established business was previously known as The Uckfield Fish Bar and first opens its doors in the early 1970’s. The well-loved business is the only traditional fish and shop in this area and surprisingly includes a large family accommodation. This would suit a family or someone looking to take an additional income from lettings. The menu includes freshly cooked fish and on site freshly cut chips, sausages, pies, burgers, chicken, veg burgers, chicken burgers, jacket potatoes, children’s meals as well as kebabs and cold drinks. Currently the trade is all walk-in custom so there is the opportunity to add home delivery, business deliveries as well as outside catering. Our client has spent over £30,000 in improvements including a new £10,000 boiler in the last year, new walk in fridges and freezer and decoration to the interior and exterior.
