CoGoGo are thrilled to be managing the sale of Hays Shack nestled in the bustling heart of Sandwich.

Hays Shack stands as a beacon of culinary excellence, renowned for its diverse menu and exceptional service. Founded 4 years ago in August amid the challenged of covid-19, this profitable restaurant has flourished under the dedicated stewardship of its current owners. However, due to family commitments involving younger children and other professional obligations, the owners reluctantly seek a new custodian for their beloved establishment.

Hyas Shack has garnered widespread acclaim, holding the coveted top spot-on TripAdvisor for the past 3.5 years. Its stellar reputation is further solidified by numerous accolades, including the prestigious title of Kent's Best Burger. This recognition underscores Hays Shack as not just a restaurant, but a culinary destination in its own right.

At Hays Shack they are well known for their culinary creativity that meets customer satisfaction. The menu boasts an array of delights catering to diverse tastes. From mouthwatering wings and flavourful vegan meals to satisfying wraps and Piri Piri sandwiches, every dish is crafted with passion and expertise.

Strategically positioned in a vibrant, high-traffic area, Hays Shack enjoys prime visibility and footfall. The restaurant features seating for 26 covers, including coveted window seats that provide a scenic backdrop for diners. The ambiance effortlessly blends casual comfort with a welcoming vibe, making it a favourite haunt for locals and tourists alike.

They have established a strong delivery presence on Just Eat and Uber Eats, which contributes to a significant portion of their revenue. The restaurant consistently receives 5* reviews across Just Eat, Facebook, Google, and TripAdvisor, reflecting its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Despite its current success, Hays Shack holds untapped potential for expansion under new ownership. Several avenues for growth include:

• Extended Operating Hours - The current owners are unable to open as frequently as desired due to other commitments. Therefore, expanding operating hours could significantly increase revenue.


• Enhanced Marketing - Leveraging social media and targeted advertising campaigns can attract new customers and increase brand awareness.


• Expanded Menu - Introducing new items or seasonal specials could entice repeat business and attract new clientele.


• Event Hosting - Offering the venue for private events, parties, or themed nights can create additional revenue streams.

Hays Shack represents not just a turnkey business opportunity but a chance to inherit a celebrated legacy in Sandwich's culinary landscape. With its established reputation, loyal customer base, and strategic location, this restaurant promises a lucrative investment for passionate entrepreneurs seeking to build upon its storied success.
