Turn-key, well-rated takeaway in a busy holiday town — lease has seven years left.
Prominent corner position with steady town and tourist footfall
This long-established fish & chip takeaway occupies a prominent corner position on Clifden Road, St Austell, benefiting from strong seasonal footfall and nearby tourist draws such as the Eden Project and Charlestown. The sale includes a fully equipped modern kitchen and fixtures purchased by the current owner, enabling immediate trade continuation without large capital outlay.
Trading for over 20 years and currently owner-operated with a turnover around £570,000 (net of VAT), the business holds high online ratings and a 5-star food hygiene score. There is clear scope to grow revenues by adding online delivery platforms and extending trading hours or marketing to visitors in peak season.
Important lease and funding consideration: the lease has only seven years remaining and rent is £14,000 pa. This short term will restrict mortgage lending and may deter buyers who require mortgage finance; purchasers should plan for lease extension or be prepared to buy with cash or alternative financing. Business rates are currently zero which supports operating margins.
The premises combine a Victorian high-street frontage with a well-appointed modern kitchen and back-of-house storage. For a buyer seeking a turn-key, cash-generating takeaway with growth potential in a busy holiday destination, this offers an immediate trading platform — but the limited lease length is a material issue that must be addressed early in due diligence.
