Key features:

  • £3,300–£3,600 weekly takings on 25.5 frying hours
  • Freehold property with updated two-bedroom flat above
  • £100,000 shop refurbishment plus £48,000 on the flat
  • Six-year-old Hopkins four-pan high-efficiency range
  • Prominent corner pitch on a busy main road

A fully refurbished semi-detached freehold fish & chip takeaway in a prominent corner position serving a densely populated Huddersfield catchment. Currently turning over £3,300 to £3,600 a week on just 25.5 frying hours across 5.5 days, with no deliveries — a genuine walk-in operation with obvious headroom for an owner-operator willing to extend the hours. Around £100,000 has gone into the shop and a further £48,000 into the two-bedroom flat above, making this the second sale in 49 years.

Trading figures:
Weekly takings are advised at £3,300 to £3,600, achieved across 47 trading weeks from a basic traditional menu over just 5.5 days — only 25.5 hours of frying a week. The route to growth is straightforward: extend the openings, introduce the home-delivery service the area currently has no access to, and consider broadening the menu. Each of those levers, on the vendor's own assessment, would substantially lift turnover.

Trade equipment:
The headline item is the six-year-old Hopkins four-pan high-efficiency fryer with integrated two- and three-pot bain-maries and fat filter — widely regarded as the gold standard for British fish & chip ranges. Also included: an EPOS till, two upright freezers, two chest freezers, an upright drinks chiller, twin-bowl stainless-steel sink unit, 56lb rumbler, chipper, microwave oven, electric batter mixer, four-ring gas hob, six-camera CCTV system and full alarm system. A full inventory will be provided prior to completion.

Special remarks:
A true walk-in opportunity. Recent years have seen approximately £100,000 invested in the shop — new floors, walls, gas, electrics and trade equipment — plus a further £48,000 on the flat above, leaving no further capital expense required on day one. This is only the second time in 49 years the business has been offered for sale; the vendor has owned it for eight years and is now relocating. For an owner-operator willing to extend the hours, add deliveries and broaden the menu, the upside is direct and measurable, and the standard of the fit-out will be evident on inspection.
