Key features:
- £5,000–£5,200 weekly turnover on five days only
- Closes 7.50pm latest, no home deliveries currently offered
- Same ownership for the past ten years
- Three-pan Frank Ford high-efficiency island range
- Two shops combined into one spacious mid-terrace unit
A well-presented mid-terrace fish & chip takeaway in Hexham, Northumberland, held in the same hands for the past ten years and turning over £5,000 to £5,200 a week on just five trading days, no home deliveries, and an early 7.50pm finish. The vendor's health is forcing a reluctant sale after a decade of building a steady local following — leaving an obvious runway for an owner-operator willing to add evenings, deliveries and a wider menu.
Trading figures:
The seller reports weekly turnover of £5,000 to £5,200, achieved across only five trading days — Tuesday to Saturday — with the doors closed by 7.50pm at the latest and no home delivery service in place. The headroom is concrete rather than theoretical: a Monday or Sunday session, a later finish, a delivery channel, or a broader menu would each add measurable trade against an already-established customer base.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a three-pan Frank Ford high-efficiency island range with built-in bain-marie — a serious bit of kit and the centrepiece of the operation. Also included: a POS till, numerous fridges and freezers, electric cooker, microwave oven, drink cabinet, washing machine and dryer, four-pot bain-marie, CCTV system, illuminated menu display, stainless-steel sinks, a Bold chipper and 56lb peeler, plus the usual items associated with the trade.
Special remarks:
A genuine sale forced by health issues after ten years of careful ownership, during which the vendor has built a good reputation and a reliable year-round customer base. The premises were completely refurbished around eleven years ago following a fire, and remain in excellent condition — easy to maintain and run on low overheads. The real story here is the upside: trading just five days, finishing by 7.50pm, with no home deliveries and a single core menu, the shop is genuinely under-traded against its catchment. For a hands-on owner-operator willing to extend the hours, add a delivery service and broaden the offer, the route to materially higher takings is direct and obvious. Inspection will confirm both the standard of the fit-out and the genuine nature of the sale.
