Key features:
- £5,500–£6,000 weekly turnover on short hours
- Same family ownership for 25 years
- New 18-year lease available
- Two-year-old island frying range
- Central pitch in a bustling Warwickshire village
A fish & chip shop in the heart of Bishop's Itchington, held in the same family for 25 years and currently turning over £5,500 to £6,000 a week on just one lunchtime and six short evening sessions. A new 18-year lease is on offer, and the frying range is barely two years old. The vendors are relocating south to be with the rest of their family, which makes this a genuine sale and a clear opening for an owner-operator with the appetite to extend the hours.
Trading figures:
The vendor advises weekly turnover of £5,500 to £6,000, generated through a mix of walk-in trade and delivery — and achieved in only four trading hours a day, six on Fridays. The headline opportunity sits in plain sight: the shop is closed all day Sunday, closed at lunchtime Monday to Thursday and Saturday, and shuts by 9.00pm at the latest. Extending the trading window, introducing card payments and broadening the menu are the obvious levers a new owner can pull on day one.
Trade equipment:
The main item is a three-pan state-of-the-art island frying range, only two years old and the centre piece of the operation. Also included: a pizza oven, two kebab machines, two bain-marie's, a double-door fridge, till, three drinks fridges, microwave oven, salad bar, fish fridge, three chest freezers, an upright freezer, a further three drinks fridges, chipper, peeler, four-hob gas cooker, dough maker and commercial double sink.
Special remarks:
A trusted village fish & chip shop with a 25-year family trading history, a brand-new 18-year lease and a frying range barely run in. The reason for sale is straightforward: the vendors are moving south to be with the rest of their family and can no longer give the shop the hours it deserves — which is why it currently opens for only four hours a day, six on Fridays. For motivated new owners willing to trade longer sessions, add Sundays, introduce card facilities and broaden the menu, the route to materially higher revenue is direct and self-evident.
