Key features:
- £4,500–£5,000 weekly turnover over six days
- Council lease with notably low rent
- Long lease residue still to run
- Kebab section already fitted, currently unused
- Genuine retirement sale after five years
A well-established corner-built fish & chip takeaway in a pleasant Palmers Green residential district, turning over £4,500 to £5,000 a week on a six-day trading pattern that closes by 9.30pm. The advantage here is a council lease at a low rent — a structural cost edge that's hard to replicate. After five years at the helm the vendor is retiring, opening the way for fresh ownership to push the takings on, with a clear and immediate upside in reinstating kebab sales the shop is already set up for.
Trading figures:
The vendor reports weekly turnover of £4,500 to £5,000, predominantly counter trade with a smaller delivery contribution, achieved across six days with a 9.30pm latest close. There is concrete latent upside built in: the kebab section is already fitted out behind the counter but isn't currently being used, and there is strong local demand for kebabs going unanswered. Reinstating that single revenue stream is a direct lever for the next owner.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a three-pan Preston & Thomas counter range, supported by the usual fit-out for a shop of this type: glass-fronted display cabinet, pressure fryer, grill, three freezers, fridge, overhead extractor, glass-fronted heated cabinet, double stainless-steel sink unit, chipper and 56lb peeler. A full inventory of trade equipment will be provided prior to completion.
Special remarks:
A long-established fish & chip shop with two structural advantages that don't come along often together: a council lease at a low rent, and a settled neighbourhood catchment that delivers consistent trade twelve months a year. The sale is genuine — after five years of ownership the vendor is retiring — and the immediate upside is plain to see, with the kebab section already fitted and ready to switch back on against unmet local demand. An ideal opportunity for a capable operator to take this one to the next level.
