Location
This Fish & Chip Restaurant & Takeaway is situated on the High Street in Rotherham town centre, South Yorkshire. The premises enjoy a prominent and highly visible position within a busy retail parade, benefiting from strong pedestrian footfall and consistent passing trade throughout the day and evening. The surrounding area is well supported by dense residential accommodation, along with a wide mix of national retailers, independent shops, offices and local amenities. Rotherham offers excellent connectivity via the A630 and M1 motorway network, with Sheffield approximately 6 miles away, Doncaster (11 miles) and Barnsley (10 miles), presenting an attractive opportunity within a well-established town centre trading environment.

Business Description
Veritas Business Sales is delighted to bring to market this Fish & Chip Restaurant and Takeaway opportunity located on the High Street in Rotherham town centre, South Yorkshire. Since acquiring the site, the developer has transformed what was formerly a barber shop into a modern Fish & Chip Restaurant Takeaway. The premises have undergone a substantial redevelopment, taken back to bare brick, with investment in excess of £70,000 along with new equipment, fixtures and fittings. All assets are included within the agreement, giving an incoming operator the rare advantage of stepping into a fully equipped shop without the usual upfront capital burden. By year five, the equipment, tables and chairs etc become fully owned, offering a clear and attractive route to ownership that is rarely available within the sector.
This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a town centre restaurant and takeaway site without the legacy issues often associated with established operations, no tired equipment, restrictive layouts or inherited problems.
Rotherham town centre is currently undergoing significant regeneration, with a strong focus on new residential accommodation to support a more vibrant, mixed-use environment. Ongoing and proposed developments include town centre apartments, riverside housing schemes and the conversion of underused commercial buildings into residential units, increasing the local population within walking distance of the High Street. This residential-led growth is supported by wider public investment in public realm improvements, transport connectivity, markets and leisure facilities, helping to drive footfall beyond traditional retail hours.
The prominent High Street position offers excellent visibility and strong footfall, making this an attractive prospect for both experienced operators and first-time buyers. There is further scope for new owners to capitalise on the delivery market by joining platforms such as Just Eat and Uber Eats. This is a genuine opportunity, and early viewing is strongly advised, as opportunities of this nature do not come around very often.
