Location
The Fish Inn is located in a prime and highly visible trading position on Market Street in the historic market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The business benefits from strong passing trade and a loyal local customer base, supported by the town's busy high street and well-established community. Ashby continues to grow, with new residential developments such as the Money Hill expansion bringing more families and footfall into the area. The town enjoys excellent transport links, with easy access to the A42 and M1, drawing customers from surrounding villages and business parks. This combination of central location, expanding population and steady daily trade creates a solid and sustainable platform for continued success.

Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to present this well established leasehold Fish & Chip Takeaway which is located in the historic market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The business has traded for over 100 years and has been in the careful hands of the current owners since 2000. They are now offering the takeaway for sale so they can enjoy a well earned retirement.
The business has been leased out but for the past month the original owners are back at the helm, supported by one reliable part-time staff member. They have an average weekly turnover of around £1,700 (net of VAT) from walk-in trade alone and currently operate on a cash-only basis. The menu features freshly prepared fish and chips, pies, sausages, saveloys, savouries, kebabs, burgers, chicken burgers, sundries and cold drinks. All equipment, fixtures and fittings are included in the sale, so no immediate investment is required.
We believe that there is further potential to increase turnover back to the historic trading figures of £7,500 plus per week by extending the opening times, taking card payments, expanding the menu, introducing online delivery orders via Just Eat and Uber Eats, and developing a website or app for direct orders. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long established, turnkey takeaway with a loyal customer base, strong location and significant expansion potential. With this in mind early viewing is highly recommended.
