About this business

A well-established fish & chip takeaway and delivery business on the outskirts of Halifax town centre, currently turning over £6,500 a week under staff management on a simple traditional menu and weekday-only hours. Takings have doubled since our client took the shop on, driven by product quality and a loyal local following. The sale is due to other business interests, and the vendor is open to serious offers for a quick deal — with a clear runway for a hands-on operator to push sales further.

Trading figures

We are informed weekly takings average £6,500 from a simple traditional menu (no pies), achieved over comparatively easy hours and including roughly £1,000 a week of Just Eat deliveries. Because the shop is run entirely under staff management, there is genuine scope for a hands-on owner to lift sales materially. Two concrete levers sit on the table: reinstating the Saturday lunch session — which historically averaged £400–£500 including deliveries before it was paused — and broadening the menu to include pies and burgers.

Trading hours

Monday to Friday: 11.00am – 8.00pm. Saturday lunch (11.00am – 2.00pm) has been closed since September 2025 due to staffing issues and is available for a new owner to reinstate.

Business premises

A highly prominent double-fronted corner site, with glazed doors opening into a bright, modern interior finished with a suspended spot-lit ceiling and uPVC-clad walls. The customer area is fronted by a Frank Ford 3-pan high-efficiency counter range, behind which sits a stainless-steel sink unit and the working equipment. Preparation runs from the basement, which is laid out with tiled flooring, uPVC-clad walls, a run of base units and a further stainless-steel sink. Easy unrestricted parking sits directly to the front of the premises.

Trade equipment

The headline item is a Frank Ford 3-pan high-efficiency counter range — a quality, well-regarded piece of kit and the centrepiece of the shop. Alongside it: a Bold rumbler and chipper, electric till, four-ring gas hob, a range of base units, an under-counter drinks chiller, an upright drinks chiller, two upright fridges, two chest freezers, two stainless-steel sink units, a four-pot bain-marie and a microwave oven. A full inventory will be provided prior to completion. (Rosens have not tested any items of equipment — buyers should commission an independent inspection.)

Accommodation

Lock-up shop — no residential accommodation is included in the sale.

Trading position

Sits on a prominent corner pitch on the outskirts of Halifax town centre, fronting onto a busy main road in the heart of a densely populated residential and commercial catchment. Local amenities are within easy reach and there is unrestricted parking directly outside — useful for both passing trade and Just Eat drivers collecting deliveries.

Special remarks

A genuine opportunity to step into a high-turnover Halifax chippy where the heavy lifting has already been done. Our client took the shop on when takings were low and has since doubled turnover to £6,500 a week through quality of product, building a loyal local trade in the process. The sale is driven by other business interests rather than any issue with the shop, and the business would clearly benefit from a hands-on operator with the Saturday session reinstated and the menu broadened. To underline the genuine nature of the sale, the vendor will allow a week's trial in the shop to verify takings prior to completion, plus help and advice during the handover. Serious offers will be considered.
