About this business

A corner-built Worcestershire fish & chip takeaway turning over £4,500 to £5,000 a week on walk-in trade alone, completely refitted after a fire in 2024 and now in immaculate condition throughout. The sale includes a spacious two-bedroom flat above, currently let at £790 a month, plus a brick garage and a free car park to the front. With short hours, no deliveries, and a 5,000-home development on the doorstep, the headroom for an active owner-operator is unusually clear.

Trading figures

The vendor advises weekly turnover of £4,500 to £5,000, all of it walk-in — a healthy steady level given the relatively short opening hours and the complete absence of a delivery channel. The shop closes at 8.30pm at the latest and is shut all day Sunday, so there is concrete scope to trade later into the evening and to introduce the home-delivery service the area currently lacks.

Trading hours

Monday: 5.00pm – 8.30pm. Tuesday to Saturday: 12.00 noon – 2.00pm and 5.00pm – 8.30pm. Sunday: Closed.

Business premises

A corner shop with double-glazed frontage on both elevations, maintained in immaculate condition throughout following a complete refit after a fire in 2024. The customer area is finished with wood-effect tiled floors, large stone wall tiles and a suspended ceiling, giving a modern and welcoming feel. The same standard continues behind the range, accessed via a hatch into a well laid-out staff service area, with an open doorway through to the kitchen and storage areas — all clad in pristine plastic-coated aluminium wall panels for a hygienic, easy-clean workspace. To the rear is a potato preparation area with direct access into the car park, ideal for deliveries and staff parking, plus a brick-built garage currently used for additional storage.

Trade equipment

The frying centrepiece is a three-pan Preston & Thomas range. Also included: an electronic till, two kebab machines, a bain-marie, three chest freezers, an upright freezer, a fish fridge, a microwave, a salad bar with storage below, a Bold peeler and chipper, plus the usual trade items. (Items have not been formally tested — buyers should commission an independent inspection.)

Accommodation

A spacious self-contained flat sits above the shop, reached via its own steel staircase at the side of the premises. It comprises two double bedrooms, a lounge/diner, a large kitchen and a bathroom, fully double-glazed, centrally heated and finished to a high standard throughout. It is currently let, producing rental income of £790 per month.

Trading position

An end-of-parade pitch within an established local shopping row that includes two mini-supermarkets and plentiful free parking, sitting on a main bus route with strong footfall and passing trade. The surrounding catchment is densely populated and genuinely diverse — council housing, multiple flats and more affluent detached residential streets all feed into the same parade. A new development of 5,000-plus homes nearby is expected to lift potential trade further over the coming years.

Special remarks

A genuinely turnkey opportunity: the shop has been completely refitted after the 2024 fire, the equipment is in place, and the business is already taking £4,500 to £5,000 a week on walk-in trade across short hours with no deliveries and no Sunday opening. Add a delivery channel, extend the closing time, and trade through Sunday evenings and the upside is direct rather than theoretical. The let two-bedroom flat at £790 a month underpins the investment, and the 5,000-home development nearby points to a longer-term tailwind for an owner-operator willing to put their hands on the business.
