Key features:

  • £6,000–£7,500 weekly turnover, year-round

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.

Property Information

Property:

Leasehold

Living Accommodation:

Lock-up shop — no residential accommodation is included in the sale.

Location:

An established pitch on a small parade of five shops just outside the pedestrianised shopping area of this historic market town. The immediate surroundings include local and national retailers, supermarkets, several pubs and a street market, and the wider locality is densely populated with a large residential catchment. The town also draws visitors to its places of interest, which together with the resident trade keeps takings steady right through the year.

Premises Details:

A mid-terrace unit within a parade of five shops, with a wide fully-glazed shopfront, twin entrance doors and a large lit coloured fascia overhead — a smart, confident street presence. Inside, the customer area is pleasantly styled with tiled flooring, painted walls finished with a dado rail and a suspended ceiling, currently seating twelve covers in comfort with room to double the seating capacity if a buyer wants to push the restaurant side harder. The three-pan Hewigo counter range sits behind an attractive fluted frontage, with the cooking section clad in stainless steel beneath an overhead extractor canopy and a menu display above. To one side is a generously sized, mostly tiled preparation area that incorporates the potato works and store and a double stainless-steel sink, with access through to a rear stock room and a covered yard where deliveries are taken in.

Business Operation

Trading hours:

Monday: 12.00 noon – 10.00pm. Tuesday to Saturday: 11.30am – 10.00pm. Sunday: closed. Sundays and later evenings remain untapped.
