Aberdeenshire chipper put up for sale after 35 years with four-bed home included

A popular chipper in an Aberdeenshire village has been put up for sale after 35 years, and it comes with a four-bedroom home included.

The Golden Fry in Aberchirder has been put on the market after the owners decided to call it a day and retire having served the community for over three decades.

A well-presented fish and chip shop, the business is being marketed by ASG Commercial, and is available for offers in the region of £200,000.

It is also said to have a strong year-round demand from locals and tourists who "significantly enhance" turnover during the spring and summer months.
