Key features:
- £1,785 average weekly takings from 3.5 days only
- Just 14.5 frying hours per week, no deliveries
- Unopposed trading position in the heart of the village
- Prominent corner premises with parking front and side
- Reduced to encourage quick sale due to pending retirement
A traditional fish & chip takeaway in an unopposed village trading position around 3.9 miles from Halifax, currently averaging £1,785 a week from just 3.5 days and 14.5 frying hours. The husband-and-wife vendors keep takings deliberately below the VAT threshold ahead of retirement, leaving an obvious runway for a younger operator to extend hours and add deliveries. Offered at a sensible asking price to encourage a quick sale, with all serious offers considered.
Trading figures:
Run by a husband-and-wife team who have kept takings deliberately below the VAT threshold, the shop currently averages £1,785 a week from a conventional menu over just 3.5 days of trading and 14.5 frying hours, with no deliveries offered. The headroom is obvious — extending the trading week, opening additional sessions, or adding a delivery service to the surrounding village would all flow straight into the takings line under more ambitious ownership.
Trade equipment:
The headline item is a 3 pan Mallinson frying range — a proper traditional setup at the heart of the shop. Alongside it the sale includes a rumbler, chipper, fish keeper, two fridge/freezers, an upright drink chiller, a 4 pot bain-marie, electric till, chest freezer, menu board and a large stainless-steel sink unit.
Special remarks:
A genuine retirement sale of a well-established, easy-to-run village chippy that is deliberately operating on a fraction of its potential trading week. With only 3.5 days and 14.5 frying hours currently on the clock, and no delivery service in place, the path to higher takings under younger ownership is direct and measurable — extend the hours, add deliveries to the surrounding village, and the existing unopposed catchment does the rest. Offered at a reasonable asking price to encourage a quick sale, this is an ideal opportunity for a first-time buyer or a trade builder, and all serious offers will be considered.
