Key features:
- Around £6,000 weekly turnover over five trading days
- Same ownership since 1994, genuine retirement sale
- Rent fixed to 2034 on the existing lease
- 70% takeaway, 30% delivery using own drivers
- Established parade with free parking directly outside
A regular high-turnover fish & chip and delivery business in an established Orpington parade, taking around £6,000 a week over just five trading days and closing no later than 10.00pm. The same family has owned it since 1994 and is now retiring; the rent is fixed all the way to 2034 and the asking price has been reduced to £120,000 to encourage a clean, quick sale.
Trading figures:
The vendor reports weekly takings averaging £6,000, achieved across just five trading days with the latest close at 10.00pm. Roughly 70% of sales come through the counter as takeaway, with the remaining 30% delivered using the shop's own drivers to keep margin in-house rather than handing it to a third-party platform. The shop currently trades without card payment facilities and is closed two days a week, so there is concrete scope to lift takings by adding card acceptance and opening on the closed days.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a three-pan Bremith counter range, the engine of the business and a substantial asset in its own right. Alongside it: a glass-fronted drinks cabinet, four freezers, griddle, charcoal grill, kebab machine, four-pot bain-marie, pressure fryer, stainless-steel fish keeper, two fridges, two- and three-door under-counter fridges, mixer, microwave oven, rotary oven, chipper and 56lb peeler.
Special remarks:
The vendor has owned this shop since 1994 — part of that time sublet — and is now seeking a well-deserved retirement after many years in the trade. The business turns over reliably each week, with fish & chips driving the majority of sales despite a comprehensive wider menu. Two clear levers sit untouched for an incoming owner: the two closed days, and the absence of card payment facilities. The price has been reduced to £120,000 to encourage a quick sale, and the rent is locked in to 2034, giving a buyer both a known cost base and obvious room to grow the takings.
