Key features:
- £3,000 weekly turnover on just 26 frying hours
- Same ownership for the past ten years
- Unopposed in an affluent, expanding village
- New housing development underway in the catchment
- Closed Saturdays and Sundays — clear growth lever
A traditional corner-built fish & chip takeaway in an affluent expanding village around 9 miles north-west of Leeds, in the same hands for the past ten years and turning over £3,000 a week on just 26 hours of frying. Unopposed locally, run on a basic counter-only menu over 4.5 days with no deliveries — a genuine retirement sale offering a quality lifestyle business with clear scope to grow.
Trading figures:
We are advised weekly takings sit at £3,000, achieved on counter sales only across a simple traditional menu and a 4.5-day week. The shop is closed both Saturday and Sunday and offers no home delivery, so the upside for an incoming operator is concrete rather than theoretical: extending hours into the weekend and adding a delivery channel are obvious levers in a community that already supports the business well.
Trade equipment:
The headline piece is a Spitfire four-pan wall fryer, supported by a fat filter machine, a six-tray fish keeper, an electric till, a drinks chiller, an upright double-door fridge/freezer, a chest freezer and a three-pot bain-marie. A full trade inventory will be provided on completion.
Special remarks:
A genuine retirement sale after ten years of steady ownership. The business provides a regular income from a loyal local community, including event trade from the village tennis club, bowling club and two churches across the year. With Saturday, Sunday and delivery all currently off the table, the growth path for an incoming operator is obvious — yet even as it stands, this is a quality lifestyle chippy in an idyllic setting, supported by a community that's only growing. Inspection is recommended to appreciate both the position and the lightness of the operation.
