Great Yarmouth Savoy cash and carry bought by Thompsons

For almost four decades, Savoy Catering Supplies has served various restaurants, pubs and businesses as a go-to cash-and-carry service in the town.

However, the company - along with its sister company Tanner Brodin Ltd - is currently in administration. Savoy is set to be struck off from the Companies House register at the end of May.

Its near-30,000 sq ft warehouse in Nelson's Yard, South Denes Road, was put on the market with a guide price of £2,000,000 with Hilco Global Real Estate Advisory on behalf of the Joint Administrators of Tanner Brodin Ltd.

But at the end of February, Savoy Catering Supplies and its warehouse were snapped up by rival firm Thompsons Food Service.

The warehouse is currently closed for refurbishment.
