About this business

A kebab house newly created in mid-2022 at a cost of more than £400,000, currently not trading after the vendor was forced to step back through ill health. Prior to closure in late 2025 the shop was turning over around £10,000 a week. Offered with a new 20-year lease in a busy Sidcup parade, this is a turnkey opportunity for an experienced operator to take on a fit-out and equipment package that cost substantially more than the asking price.

Trading figures

Prior to closure in the latter part of 2025 the shop was trading at around £10,000 a week. The business stopped trading because of the vendor's health, not because of the takings — and the standard of the fixtures, fittings and equipment, which cost substantially more than the asking price, only becomes fully apparent on inspection.

Trading hours

Tuesday to Sunday: 4.00pm – 10.30pm. Closed Monday. The shop is not currently trading.

Business premises

A mid-terrace unit fitted from scratch in mid-2022 with no expense spared, and it shows. The frontage is fully glazed with a central door, smart lit coloured signage above and electric security shutters. Inside, the dining area is tastefully styled around an exposed brick feature wall, tiled flooring and a mix of inset and mood lighting, seating 40 covers on bespoke upholstered bench seating with Italian oak tables, and the room is fully air conditioned. The fully tiled service bay sits beneath a long overhead extraction system and runs straight through into the kitchen, which is finished with a tiled floor, stainless-steel wall cladding and both double and single sinks. To the rear, an external area houses a walk-in fridge and additional storage, with rear access alongside.

Trade equipment

A full and largely new equipment package centred on a long charcoal grill and two kebab machines — the heart of the operation. Also included are a cash register, griddle, bain-marie, basket fryer, two under-counter fridges, microwave oven, mixer, gas oven, walk-in fridge, freezer, fridge and glass-fronted fridge. A full trade inventory will be provided prior to completion. (The above items have not been tested by Rosens — buyers should commission an independent inspection.)

Accommodation

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

Trading position

Mid-parade in a busy local shopping run on the Kent / South-East London border, with the benefit of plenty of free parking on the doorstep. The surrounding catchment is densely residential and good-class, supporting steady year-round trade from locals and from further afield.

Special remarks

More than £400,000 was spent converting and equipping this unit in mid-2022, and the standard of the work will be evident the moment you walk in. With a fresh 20-year lease, a 40-cover restaurant fit-out and a complete kebab-house equipment package already in place, the asking price of £175,000 represents a fraction of the original outlay. An ideal purchase for an experienced operator who can step in and trade on day one, taking full advantage of the money the previous owner has already lavished on the shop.
