An award-winning gourmet sandwich shop could be yours after it was put up for sale.

Newcastle restaurant Kracklin - which was named as one of the UK's "most incredible sandwich shops" - has gone on the market.

The family-owned business opened in Market Street in 2015 and has proved popular among its regular customers.

It was named among the top 15 sandwich shops in the country by Great British Chefs earlier this year.

The restaurant was completely refurbished when it opened by sisters Georgia Powell and Andrea Marshall from Hetton-le-Hole.

The building occupies part of the old Godfather restaurant and was transformed to create an airy eating area space with white walls, exposed brick and wooden tables decorated with mini cactus plants.

The menu offers a range of gourmet sandwiches, poutine, which is served with the pork crackling that gives the restaurant its name, and mac ‘n’ cheese.

It is also fully licensed for alcohol, serving a range of beers, wines and cocktails alongside the food, for a maximum of 30 customers in the restaurant and, with a pavement license, an additional 12 customers outside.

The restaurant has been put on the market by specialist business property advisor Christie & Co.

David Cash, senior agent at Christie & Co’s Newcastle office, is handling the sale.

He said: “Pitched just around the corner from our offices on Shakespeare Street, the business is one that I have followed closely both as a customer and as a licensed specialist.

"It’s great to see local, independent restaurants competing with the huge number of corporate entities we have in the city.

"Kracklin has just reported its most lucrative weeks since opening and continues to build on its strong reputation.”

Kracklin is on the market with a leasehold asking price of £60,000.
