A substantial fish & chip takeaway on the outskirts of a major Kent town centre, in the same family ownership for 40 years and turning over £7,000 to £8,000 a week on just two full days and five evenings — with no home deliveries and an 8.30pm/9.00pm close. Offered freehold at £759,950 or on a new 20-year lease at £199,950, and either route includes a large three-bedroom self-contained family home above. A genuine retirement sale with clear, evident upside for a capable operator.
Trading figures:
Weekly turnover currently runs at £7,000 to £8,000, achieved across just two full trading days and five evenings, with the shop closing at 8.30pm or 9.00pm and no home deliveries operating. The headroom is obvious: extra openings, a delivery channel, and the spare internal space to add a second cuisine — kebabs, pizza, Chinese — alongside the existing fish & chip trade.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a four-pan Preston & Thomas island range, set into the granite-topped counter. Also included: a digital till, four-pot bain-marie, griddle, grill, oil filter, stainless-steel fish keeper, two chest freezers, microwave oven, chipper, and 56lb peeler.
Special remarks:
A genuine retirement sale after 40 years in the same hands. The business is already turning over £7,000 to £8,000 a week on a deliberately restricted pattern — no deliveries, an early close, and only two full trading days — which means the upside for an incoming operator is unusually concrete: extend the hours, introduce home delivery, and use the spare internal space to layer in a second cuisine. The freehold/leasehold optionality and the size of the family accommodation above only widen the appeal. An ideal purchase for a capable operator with the appetite to take a long-trading shop to the next level.
