Successful Torquay Fish & Chip Takeaway For Lease

Torquay, Devon, UK
Asking Price:
£60,000
Turnover:
£238,332
Net Profit:
On request

Successful Torquay fish and chip takeaway generating turnover of £238,332 for the year ending June 2025, with an established reputation, fully equipped premises and clear potential to grow online and social media sales.

Torquay Fryer is a smartly fitted takeaway known for freshly prepared, reasonably priced food. The menu includes battered cod, plaice, haddock and lemon sole, grilled sea bass, sea bream and mackerel, alongside meat, chicken and vegetarian burgers. Its battered chips are stated to be the business’s best seller. Fresh, natural produce is used, with rapeseed oil in the fryers filtered daily.

The business occupies a ground-floor lock-up in the commercial and residential Torre area of Torquay, close to the substantial Torre Marine residential development, Police Station, independent retailers and offices. Free short-term parking is available nearby at Brunswick car park, supporting convenient customer collection.

Torquay Fryer is operated by the two owners with two part-time members of staff. It trades Tuesday to Friday lunchtimes and every evening except Sunday. Online ordering is currently available through Just Eat; however, the business has no dedicated website and does not use social media for promotion. This provides a significant opportunity for a new operator to develop direct online ordering, digital marketing and social media activity to increase visibility and sales.

The premises are available by assignment of a 10-year lease dating from September 2020 at an annual rent of £11,200, with repairing and insuring obligations. Furnishings and equipment are included subject to inventory, excluding the owners’ personal effects, with wet and dry stock to be purchased at valuation on completion. Enquiries are invited for further information and viewing arrangements.
