A traditional sit down and take away chippie, situated right next to the historic Monnow bridge in the heart of picturesque Roman Monmouth occupying a busy trading position for both local and tourist trade.
In addition to the affluent local population, the picturesque setting attracts custom throughout the year from day trippers, cyclists and walkers who pass through the village when proceeding to/from the village and river.
Monmouth is an ancient market town with a Roman foundation and as a border garrison between the English and Welsh, was endowed with a fine castle. It remained prosperous throughout the 18th and 19th centuries and is now a major tourist centre.
What has survived, however, is the Monnow bridge, the UK's finest 13th century town fortification of its kind. It was intended to defend the town from incursions by the Welsh and was provided with a portcullis and gate. In this, it was only partially successful, as the River Monnow is narrow and shallow and is easily forded nearby. But like most gatehouses, it was equally important as a means to collect taxes and control the passage of visitors into the town. Although much altered (again by the Victorians), it remains an evocative symbol of an earlier period.
The business was established by our vendor client in 1978 and operates as a dual Fish & Chip Take-Away and restaurant opening Monday to Saturday from 12:00pm to 8:00 pm. The sales are derived from both 'over-the-counter' take-away and seated with menu choice. The current owners don't offer a delivery service which provides the buyer with an excellent opportunity to expand the delivery service and possibly late night extended hours.
An inspection is invited of this well located fast food take-away and café which provides business growth opportunities. Located in a premier location with public parking opposite the premises.
The property has been in the same family ownership for 40 years plus

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
