The Property Partnership are pleased to offer the exciting opportunity to acquire Henshed, a boutique fried chicken takeaway located in Lyme Regis, Dorset.

The Business
Lyme Regis's first and only dedicated fried chicken takeaway, Henshed (thehenshed.co.uk) is situated within a wooden cabin at Davey Fort, home of Lyme Regis Football Club. Offering feel-good fried chicken as well as a range of sides and desserts, the Henshed has quickly established itself as a 'go to' for locals and returning tourists alike. Indeed the personal and hands-on approach of the present owners, combined with excellent service, strong social media presence and of course delicious, freshly prepared food, has quickly established Henshed with a loyal and growing following within a diverse local food scene.

The time has now come to pass on the culinary baton/drumstick, providing a new owner with the opportunity to benefit from the strong commercial base and positive momentum established by the current owners, who are looking to sell now due to other business interests and a young family. The business is offered as a going concern, with huge potential for growth in its current form, or wider geographical expansion/franchising. The sale includes the fabric and lease on the current trading premises in Lyme Regis, as well as its contents including 2 x 30L gas fryers, 1 x 500L refrigerator, 1 x under counter 200L refrigerator, 1 x holding oven (5 rack), 2 x under counter freezers, 1 x sink unit with pressured jet hose, 1 POS System (Square), 1 x heated element unit to hold food, 1 x bespoke counter top unit, 1 x griddle hot unit, plus an integrated security system + cameras. The sellers will also be offering a handover period, within which to familiarise the new owners with the day-to-day running of the business, and introduce suppliers etc.
