A high-turnover Sidcup fish & chip takeaway turning over £12,000 to £13,000 a week on just five trading days, with no late nights, no deliveries and no kebab sales. Established in 1977 and held by the same family since 1983, the shop is well presented and well maintained throughout, and is offered with a brand-new 20-year lease. The elderly owners are selling due to health issues — a genuine sale, priced to move, with obvious headroom for an operator willing to extend the days, hours, and add a delivery service.
Trading figures:
The seller reports weekly turnover of £12,000 to £13,000, achieved without late-night trading, without home deliveries and without kebab sales. The headroom is unusually concrete: a five-day week left as-is, the evening cut-off pulled forward to 9.00pm at the latest, and an entire delivery channel still untouched. Introducing a delivery service alone, on a turnover already at this level, should lift takings materially.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a five-pan Preston & Thomas counter range, well maintained and at the heart of the operation. Also included: a cash register, glass-fronted heated display cabinet, rotary oven, two double-door drink chillers, a small fridge and freezer, microwave, oil filter, griddle, pressure fryer, three stainless-steel fish keepers, an additional fridge, dishwasher, three freezers, a chipper, and a 56lb peeler. A full trade inventory will be provided prior to completion.
Special remarks:
The elderly family owners have traded from this long-established chippy since 1983, having built the business steadily over four decades, and are now selling due to health issues and a well-earned retirement. The price has been reduced to encourage a quick sale. The combination of a £12,000–£13,000 weekly turnover, a five-day trading week, no evenings, no deliveries and no kebabs is genuinely unusual at this level — every one of those is a lever a new owner can pull. A viewing is the fastest way to appreciate both the standard of the shop and the scope still available to take the takings to the next level.
