A fully refurbished fish & chip shop in a busy residential pocket of Fleetwood, held by the same family for 34 years and trading just 24 hours a week on a simple traditional menu. Closes 6.30pm at the latest, never opens Sunday, and still produces a steady year-round income. The work has been done — new lease in place, modern fit-out, quality island range — and the upside for an active operator is unusually direct.
Trading figures:
Steady year-round takings from a simple, conventional menu, achieved on just 24 trading hours a week — full turnover details are available on request. The current pattern leaves Sundays closed and no evening trade beyond 6.30pm, so the headroom is concrete rather than theoretical: extra sessions, a wider menu, and local marketing into the surrounding catchment are all available levers for a more active operator.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a three-pan Ellidge & Fairley island range with integrated three-pot bain-marie and double pudding steamer — a serious piece of frying kit at the heart of the shop. Alongside it: a Bold chipper and rumbler, oil filter, drink chiller, electric till, stainless-steel upright fridge, four-ring gas hob, double sink unit and menu display. The above items of equipment have not been tested by Rosens, and a full trade inventory will be provided prior to completion.
Special remarks:
Fully refurbished throughout in recent years and offered as a turnkey operation, with a new lease, a very low yearly rent and a loyal customer base built up over 34 years in the same family's hands. The current short-hours trading pattern — six days, lunch and tea only, closed Sunday, nothing past 6.30pm — leaves obvious room for an incoming operator to extend hours and broaden the offer with pizzas, fried chicken or burgers, using the unused space the shop already has. The vendors are genuine sellers, simply moving on to expand in other business directions, and serious offers are invited.
