Key features:
- £5,000–£5,500 weekly takings on a basic menu
- Just 25.5 frying hours across five days
- Freehold corner property with three-bed flat above
- Same family ownership for 25 years
- No deliveries currently — clear room to grow
A corner-built freehold fish & chip takeaway in a busy main-road position close to Morecambe seafront, taking £5,000 to £5,500 a week from a basic traditional menu over just five days and 25.5 frying hours. Twenty-five years in the same hands, trading 46 weeks of the year, and offered now as a reluctant retirement sale. The freehold includes a spacious three-bedroom flat above, making this both a profitable business and a home in one purchase.
Trading figures:
Weekly takings have been advised at £5,000 to £5,500, achieved from a traditional basic menu across just five days and 25.5 frying hours, with the shop closed Mondays and Sundays and trading only 46 weeks of the year. The headroom is the most striking part of the figures: introducing a home-delivery service, extending opening hours and broadening the menu would each add to sales without changing the underlying location or fit-out.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a Kiremko large two-pan high-efficiency counter range — a serious piece of kit and the centrepiece of the shop. Also included: a four-pot bain-marie, Bold 28lb rumbler and chipper, electric till, contact griddle, seven-tray fish fridge, four-ring gas oven, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, two-ring gas hob, fridge, freezer, chest freezer and batter mixer. A full inventory will be provided prior to completion.
Special remarks:
A genuinely rare opportunity: a well-known and popular chippy that is exceptionally profitable on solid all-year-round trade, achieved from a simple basic menu over just five days and 25.5 frying hours across a 46-week year. Our client is reluctantly retiring after 25 years and feels it is time for a younger owner to take the business to the next level — there is clear potential in a much-needed delivery service, longer hours and a broader menu. The seller lives just 60 yards from the shop and is prepared to stay on to offer any help required during handover. Reduced to encourage a quick sale, and one not to be missed.
