Key features:
- £6,000–£7,500 weekly turnover, year-round
- Long secure Council lease
- Town-centre parade position in a historic market town
- Three-channel trade: takeaway, restaurant and delivery
- Closed Sundays and late evenings — clear room to grow
A firmly established fish & chip takeaway, restaurant and delivery business in the centre of Waltham Abbey, currently turning over £6,000 to £7,500 a week with year-round trade. Held on a long, secure Council lease and well fitted throughout. After six years of ownership the vendor is offering a genuine sale, with clear scope for an owner-operator to extend the trading week and lift takings further.
Trading figures:
Weekly turnover sits between £6,000 and £7,500, with roughly 70% coming through the takeaway counter and a smaller restaurant trade, and the balance from delivery sales. The shop currently closes on Sundays and runs shorter evenings than many comparable operations, so a hands-on owner willing to add a Sunday session and trade later into the night has an obvious and measurable route to growth.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a three-pan Hewigo counter range — a serious, well-regarded piece of frying kit and a substantial chunk of the asset value on its own. Also included: a charcoal grill, computer till, triple-door under-counter fridge, numerous additional fridges and freezers, a four-pot bain-marie, pressure fryer, fish keeper, microwave oven, chipper and peeler. A full trade inventory will be provided prior to completion.
Special remarks:
Our client bought this well-known shop six years ago and has improved it into the smart, bright and airy unit on offer today — something a viewing will quickly confirm. The combination of a long, secure Council lease, an established three-channel trade and an obvious gap in the trading week (Sundays and later evenings) means a capable owner-operator has a clear path to grow what is already a steady year-round business. A genuine sale after six years of ownership.
