Premises Details:

This fish and chip shop has been trading from within Durham since 1954 and has been placed on the market by the current owner as they now wish to concentrate on another unrelated venture.

This venue has been part of the Durham late night fabric since 1954 and is popular with locals, visitors and students. The location is close to a number of bars and nightclubs and just off the main “circuit” which is busy all year round but particularly so during term time. There is also a bar within the same building as the Stantons business.

Stantons originally operated as a traditional fish and chip shop but over the years the menu has diversified with tastes. Fish and chips still make up around 50% of the turnover with the remainder coming from the sale of kebabs, burgers and pizza.

There is a delivery service which accounts for circa 40% of the takings but the only platform the owner currently uses is Just Eat. There is clearly further potential to expand the business profile and delivery services and deliveries is now where these types of businesses make their money outside of the weekend peaks.
