About this business

A substantial corner-sited fish & chip restaurant and takeaway in a prime Brighton town centre position, currently turning over circa £937,500 net for 2025 with summer weeks peaking above £30,000. The business runs entirely under management and staff control, producing close to £140,000 net profit before management costs. A genuine opportunity for a double family concern — or for a buyer who simply wants to retain the existing management structure already in place.

Trading figures

Net sales for 2025 are approximately £937,500 per annum, with peak trading in excess of £30,000 per week during the summer season. Net profit comes in at nearly £140,000 before management costs — produced entirely under complete management and staff control, across takeaway, restaurant and delivery channels. The scale of the takings is what makes this a credible double-family opportunity: there is genuine room for two ownerships to draw a living from the business.

Trading hours

Trading seven days a week throughout the year, from early morning through to late at night — capturing both the dense surrounding residential catchment and the substantial summer visitor influx that one of the South of England's most visited towns reliably delivers.

Business premises

A very substantial, prominent, bold corner purpose-built fish & chip premises, formed from two adjacent intercommunicating shops that house the takeaway and restaurant operations side by side. The fit-out is to the highest standard, with an appealing shop design and professionally produced purpose-built working facilities engineered to handle the volume the business achieves. The attached photographs give a fuller sense of the standard of presentation and the scale of what is on offer.

Trade equipment

By far one of the finest fitted and equipped chippies you are likely to see — a company-owned, management-run operation with a complete trade equipment, fixtures and fittings inventory available on request. The inventory is extensive and far too numerous to list in full on paper. (Items have not been formally tested — buyers should commission an independent inspection.)

Accommodation

We understand there is a studio flat above the business which is available to rent separately at around £7,000 per annum. It does not form part of this sale.

Trading position

Set within the town centre of one of the most sought-after major seaside towns in Sussex, with one of the most populated residential districts surrounding it and one of the highest tourist and holiday visitor counts on the south coast. The position supports genuine trading capacity seven days a week, from early morning right through to the town's substantial late-night economy.

Special remarks

Only a full inspection will properly convey the standard of this company-run fish & chip business and the volume it handles. Applicants will need to be experienced and able to supply excellent landlord references. Equally well-suited to a double family concern looking for a business of genuine scale, or to a buyer who would prefer to retain the existing management and staff structure and run the operation hands-off from day one.
