For an investor or hands-on operator seeking an immediate income stream, this freehold fish and chip shop on High Street offers a turnkey purchase. The business is trading, fitted with roughly £30,000 of commercial equipment and producing an estimated turnover of £8,000 per month — a solid base to scale via delivery, extended hours or menu expansion.
The premises are compact and practical: clean tiled floors, suspended ceiling with inset lighting, stainless-steel fryers and a branded service counter ready for trade. Location sits on a busy local high street with passing trade, good mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for card terminals and delivery platforms.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly. The area records high crime levels and is very deprived, which can affect staffing, footfall and security. External signage and roof repairs are indicated; these will require immediate attention and budget. The building is small, limiting dine-in or seating expansion.
The property will be sold via online auction (terms apply). The freehold guide price is £45,000 — attractive given the included equipment and trading position, but factor in repair costs, local socio-economic challenges and typical running costs before bidding.
