Winterton Fish Bar, Beach Road, Winterton-on-Sea
Paul Hubbard Commercial are delighted to present a highly popular and well-established Fish & Chip Shop, complete with spacious residential accommodation, located in the popular seaside village of Winterton-on-Sea, Norfolk.

Winterton Fish Bar represents a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established and highly regarded coastal fish and chip business with substantial owner’s accommodation, situated in the sought-after seaside village of Winterton-on-Sea.

Trading successfully for over 30 years, the business has become a well-known destination for both local residents and visiting holidaymakers, benefiting from its prime position just a short walk from the beach and the village centre.

The business occupies a unique position as the only fish and chip takeaway serving the village, creating a strong and defensible trading position. Trade is supported year-round, with Winterton-on-Sea attracting visitors beyond the summer months, including winter tourism driven by the area’s well-known seal colony and coastal walks.

The current owners have continued to invest in both the operational efficiency and digital infrastructure of the business, resulting in consistent year-on-year growth in turnover. A purpose-built customer App, integrated website ordering system, established loyalty scheme and database of over 3,000 customers provide a robust platform for continued growth.

Internally, the commercial premises have been upgraded and well maintained, including a recently refitted preparation area with new stainless steel equipment, reconditioned and rewired fryers, a new extraction system and newly installed fire alarm. The property also benefits from a recently installed domestic boiler.

Alongside the business, the property includes a well-presented three-bedroom owner’s residence, offering a comfortable and practical lifestyle opportunity in a prime coastal setting.
