- New 12-year lease available

A well-established fish & chip and delivery business in the heart of Leyton, trading just two full days and four evenings a week and turning over £4,000 weekly under restricted hours. Same ownership for seven years, offered with a new twelve-year lease on a pedestrianised parade in a densely populated residential district that has been transformed by large-scale regeneration. A genuine sale due to family and other business commitments, with clear scope for an owner-operator to extend trading hours into a catchment that already has the footfall to support them.
Trading figures:
Weekly turnover sits at around £4,000 across a comprehensive takeaway and delivery menu — and that figure is achieved on just two full days and four evenings a week, with Sunday closed entirely and a 9.30pm latest finish every night. The growth case writes itself: the catchment is densely residential and the shop is currently shut for sessions where local demand is demonstrably there. Extending into longer daytime hours, or opening Sundays, is the most obvious lever for a hands-on operator.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a well-maintained three-pan Bremith counter range — a serious piece of kit and the centrepiece of the cooking line. Also included: a refrigerated display cabinet, two kebab machines, a small griddle, a heated cabinet, a digital till, a microwave oven, a four-ring domestic gas cooker, two fridges, a pressure fryer, two chest freezers and an upright freezer, a stainless-steel fish keeper, plus a chipper and peeler.
Special remarks:
The story behind the sale is part of the appeal. The freeholder has owned the property since 1987, and in 2019 took the shop back from a previous tenant who had let trade slide. He then partly upgraded the unit into a neat, tidy and easy-to-operate fish & chip shop, which his two sons have run ever since. Family and other business commitments now mean the shop is offered for sale — a genuine reason, with the freeholder still firmly in the picture. There is meaningful growth still on the table, particularly via extended hours, and a trial is offered to a genuinely interested buyer. Inspection will confirm both the standard of the fit-out and the upside in the catchment.
