A traditional fish & chip takeaway in the heart of Sought after West Yorkshire turning over £4,500 to £5,000 a week on just 3.5 days and 18 hours of frying — no deliveries, no Sunday-to-Tuesday trade, and no competition in the village. The current owner is retiring after 18 years at the helm and is offering the business either freehold at £345,000 or on a new lease at £150,000. The shape of the trade leaves obvious headroom for a younger operator willing to add sessions or a delivery channel.

Trading figures:
The seller reports weekly takings of £4,500 to £5,000 from a conventional fish & chip menu, achieved across just 3.5 trading days and around 18 hours of frying. There is no home delivery service in place and the shop is closed entirely on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday — both immediately addressable levers for an owner-operator looking to grow the takings without changing the formula.

Trade equipment:
The headline piece is a Hopkins three-pan counter range — the gold-standard make for British fish & chip shops and a substantial chunk of the asset value on its own. Also included: a Bold chipper and rumbler, fish fridge, six-ring gas oven, two microwave ovens, drink chiller, electric till, four-pot bain-marie, two chest freezers, an upright freezer, preparation tables and a twin stainless-steel sink. A full trade inventory will be provided prior to completion.

Special remarks:
Rosens are pleased to offer this unopposed freehold or leasehold fish & chip shop, brought to market only because our client is retiring after 18 years at the counter. The business currently produces a high income from just 18 hours of frying across 3.5 days — a genuine quality-of-life operation as it stands, and an unusually clear path to growth for a younger purchaser willing to open additional sessions or layer in a local delivery service. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scope on offer.

Property Information

Property:

Available as freehold and leasehold

Living Accommodation:

Internal access leads to double-glazed, centrally heated living accommodation on the first floor: a bedroom, lounge and shower room, plus a boarded-out attic with a Velux window that would readily convert into a second bedroom.

Location:

A firmly established location on the main high street of well known popular village and within an expanding and popular West Yorkshire busy hugely visited village. The shop trades unopposed in the village itself and benefits from busy footfall throughout the day, with a ring of surrounding villages well within reach — exactly the kind of catchment that would respond strongly to a delivery offering if a new owner chose to introduce one.

Premises Details:

A brick-built end-of-parade unit arranged over three split levels, with a double-glazed frontage opening into a fully tiled customer area finished with an illuminated suspended ceiling and fronted by a Hopkins three-pan counter range. Behind the counter is a purpose-fitted kitchen and preparation area with tiled walls and flooring, equipped with three stainless-steel preparation tables. Stairs descend to a lower-ground potato storage room, a separate stockroom with shelving and a built-in cupboard, and a dedicated potato wet room — tiled floor, uPVC-clad walls — housing the rumbler and chipper. A rear door opens onto a large private yard used for deliveries, and there is ample on-road parking directly in front of the shop.

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday: closed. Wednesday and Thursday: 11.30am – 1.45pm and 4.30pm – 7.00pm. Friday: 11.30am – 1.45pm and 4.00pm – 7.00pm. Saturday: 11.30am – 1.45pm. Just 18 hours of frying across the week.
