Barnacles Chip Shop, Barnacles, Mostyn Street, Llandudno, Conwy

Barnacles is located on Mostyn Street in the heart of the Victorian seaside town of Llandudno. The property stands in a prime High Street position surrounded by other retail and hospitality outlets. It is a short distance from the town’s famous promenade and pier and close to multiple tourist attractions including The Great Orme, the Alice in Wonderland Trail and Llandudno Cable Car. Llandudno is the perfect base from which to explore Snowdonia National Park and the North Wales coast. The town is served by junctions 19 and 20 of the A55 North Wales Expressway via the A470 Royal Welsh Way, and Llandudno Junction train station provides rail services to Chester and destinations across North Wales.

The property is a Victorian era, mid-terrace property set over four storeys and has been subject to significant investment of approx. £200,000 to include a new shopfront canopy and comprehensive structural refurbishment to all three flats. It comprises a lock-up restaurant and takeaway to the ground floor and three flats over the first, second and third floors. With the structural work complete, the three flats now only need internal finishing touches to be ready for letting.

Barnacles is an established fish and chip restaurant and takeaway which has been operated by our client for over 30 years. She has decided to sell in order to retire. Due to its prime location on Mostyn Street in the heart of Llandudno, Barnacles is hugely popular with tourists and locals alike. In addition to fish and chips, it has introduced a dedicated vegan menu as well as gluten-free options which have proved extremely popular. There is the potential to increase the business’s revenue by developing the three flats (which are currently unoccupied) and offering them for long-term rental or as short-term holiday lets, subject to the relevant planning permissions.

Net sales for the year ended March 2025 are £636,000. Full trade accounts are available upon request and with the consent of our client.

We understand a full Premises Licence is held for the retail of alcohol.

Mains gas, electricity, water and drainage are connected.
