The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among other complementary independent operators in a thriving and pedestrianised retail development situated in the busy heart of the vibrant satellite town of Castleford, which lies with excellent access both to major road and motorway links (A656, A639, M62 junction 32 and A1M junction 41 etc.) and to the nearby centres of Pontefract and Wakefield in West Yorkshire.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of exceptional quality and uncommon further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This young and still-expanding eatery currently primarily offers a full and varied menu of classic fish and chip meals, associated savouries including burgers and sausages etc., side orders, confectionery and hot and cold beverages, including tea, coffee and milkshakes, with children’s meal options always available.

All food is prepared freshly to order in its extensively equipped and five-star hygiene rated open “theatre-style” commercial catering facilities employing the finest and freshest produce and served in the very pleasant surroundings of a charming, spacious and attractively furnished in-house dining area, with a takeaway option also available.

“The Jolly Fryers Chippy” also offers a popular local delivery service, with online ordering available through the ‘Just Eat’ platform, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with truly vast scope for continued growth, not least with regard to a degree of menu expansion, to perhaps include kebabs and pizzas etc., further development of its local delivery services and to operating hugely extended hours in order to fully exploit year-round local and passing trade demand.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, particularly with reference to further development of its web and social media presence, in order to improve upon the already very respectable opening levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form just twelve successful months ago by the current director, with the aid only of a small, experienced and motivated team of two full-time and one part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
