A fully refurbished freehold fish & chip takeaway in the heart of a well-populated South Yorkshire village, established on this site for over 100 years and trading from an unopposed position. Closed in November 2022 when the vendor's health forced a reluctant exit, the shop has been comprehensively re-fitted at significant cost and is offered as a walk-in opportunity with upgraded living accommodation above. Priced at £155,000 freehold, this is a genuine re-establishment play for an experienced operator.
Trading figures:
Takings were under-achieving prior to closure: the previous owner ran the shop on very limited openings while managing young family commitments, and ill health then forced a full closure in November 2022. With the shop now dormant, there are no current figures to publish — but the asset, the position and the catchment are all in place for a capable operator to re-establish trade from day one.
Trade equipment:
Almost every piece of kit is nearly new. The headline item is a two-pan gas counter range, supported by a fat filter, rumbler, chipper, EPOS electric till, two bain-maries, a double kebab machine, full extraction canopy, electric knives, a commercial oven, two microwaves, various refrigerated units, a grill, glass display chiller, under-counter drinks chiller, and a security system with monitors. A full trade inventory will be made available prior to completion.
Special remarks:
The current owner took the business on in January 2018 and undertook a full refurbishment at considerable cost, intending it as a long-term family operation. Young family commitments held the trade back, and ill health then forced a reluctant closure in late 2022. What's left is the rare combination of a fully refurbished freehold, modern equipment, upgraded living accommodation, and a 100-year-established unopposed village position — all priced at £155,000 freehold. The shop won't sell itself: it needs an experienced operator to re-establish opening hours and rebuild local trust. For the right buyer that's the opportunity, not the obstacle. Inspection is recommended.
