  • Established four years ago at a cost in excess of £250,000

A four-year-old fish & chip and grill restaurant in inner Essex, fitted out from scratch at a cost in excess of £250,000 and currently turning over £14,000 to £17,000 a week across a 60-cover licensed dining room and an adjoining takeaway. The split runs roughly 60% restaurant, 40% takeaway and deliveries, with live music on Fridays and Saturdays drawing a regular crowd. A genuine sale prompted by other business commitments, with clear scope to push turnover further by opening earlier for breakfast or trading later into the evening.

Trading figures:
Weekly sales sit between £14,000 and £17,000, with roughly 60% taken in the restaurant and the balance split across the takeaway and delivery channels. The vendor reports clear scope to grow takings further — introducing a breakfast service and extending the trading day into the later evening are both open to a new operator. The unit would also convert easily to other forms of catering should a buyer want to reposition it.

Trade equipment:
The headline kit is a four-pan Kiremko range alongside a two-pan Frank Ford range — a serious frying setup for a unit of this scale. Also included: an EPOS till system, two glass-fronted drinks cabinets, two fridges, double-door freezers, a chest freezer, two under-counter fridges, three microwave ovens, a six-ring commercial gas oven, salamander grill, griddle, charcoal grill, small glass washer, four-pot bain-marie, chipper and 56lb peeler.

Special remarks:
The vendor established this business four years ago and has plainly spent a fortune on the fixtures, fittings and equipment — the standard is apparent the moment you walk in. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays has built a loyal weekend following and made the room a natural choice for gatherings and special occasions. The premises are immaculate and require no further capital outlay, which leaves a new owner free to focus on the obvious upside: a breakfast service and a longer trading day. The reason for sale is straightforward — the vendor has other business commitments. Inspection will confirm both the quality of the fit-out and the genuine nature of the sale.

Leasehold

Living Accommodation:

No accommodation is included in the sale.

Location:

An end-terrace pitch fronting a busy main route to and from the town centre, sitting next to a large popular supermarket and surrounded by shops and local businesses. The catchment is densely residential and broad, with the supermarket and surrounding parade pulling consistent footfall throughout the year — three reliable customer streams (residents, supermarket traffic and local workers) feeding the same address.

Premises Details:

An attractive end-terrace unit with a sectioned-off outside seating area for 16, a fully glazed frontage with canopy, and an illuminated coloured fascia running across. Inside, the air-conditioned restaurant seats 60 in comfort on colour-coordinated seating, finished with quality wooden flooring and walls, large mirrors, and a mix of inset and hanging lighting that gives the room a proper atmosphere. A fully fitted bar runs along the far end and continues through to the preparation area, which has a stainless-steel double sink, shelving and refrigeration, with a separate tiled potato works and store off to the side. A working corridor leads on to a stainless-steel-clad kitchen with overhead extractor, two and four-pan frying ranges, and the small adjoining takeaway shop. The fit-out is genuinely outstanding and needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
