Key features:
- £8,000–£9,000 weekly turnover, 70% restaurant / 30% counter
- 50-cover air-conditioned restaurant alongside the takeaway
- Mainly staff-operated, closing 4pm most days
- New lease available from the landlord
- Two large first-floor rooms ripe for expansion
A prime town-centre fish & chip takeaway and 50-cover restaurant in pedestrianised Nantwich, turning over £8,000 to £9,000 a week and trading mainly daytime — closed by 4pm most days. Run largely under management with the landlord prepared to grant a new lease, and offered well below market value. The combination of strong takings, restricted hours, and an under-used first floor leaves clear, measurable upside for an owner-operator.
Trading figures:
Reported weekly takings sit at £8,000 to £9,000, with roughly 70% generated through the restaurant and the balance through counter sales. The shop closes at 4pm Monday to Thursday and Saturday, with Friday extended to 7pm, and Sunday closed entirely — so the headline figures are achieved on what amounts to a 33-hour frying week. The obvious levers for an owner-operator are concrete: extending opening hours, introducing home delivery, accepting card payments, and reinstating a breakfast service.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a three-pan Mallinson counter range, supported by a Bold chipper and peeler in the prep area. Also included: a four-ring gas oven, commercial dishwasher, numerous fridges and freezers, electric till, coffee machine, water boiler, griddle, drink chiller, air fryer, four-pot bain-marie, toaster, two microwave ovens, and crockery and cutlery throughout.
Special remarks:
An enticing opportunity to acquire a town-centre business that, despite operating predominantly under staff management and restricted to daytime trading, consistently generates substantial revenue — a clear signal of untapped potential. Further upside sits on the first floor, where two spacious rooms and a fully equipped breakfast kitchen are currently under-used and ready for an enterprising operator to bring into trade. Offered well below market value with a new lease on the table. An internal inspection is highly recommended to appreciate both the standard of the fit-out and the scale of the opportunity.
