Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this substantial freehold fish and chip takeaway and restaurant, situated in the heart of Worksop, Nottinghamshire.

Established in 1976, the business has remained in the same family ownership for almost 50 years, earning an excellent reputation and loyal customer base. The owners made the difficult decision to cease trading due to ill health. A sale had previously been agreed, however the purchaser was unable to secure funding, meaning this excellent opportunity has now returned to the market.

The sale includes the freehold property together with all fixtures, fittings and equipment, all of which are owned outright. This provides a genuine turnkey opportunity, allowing a new owner to reopen with minimal additional investment.

Prior to closing, the business traded only six days a week between 11:30am and 4:00pm, generating average weekly sales of approximately £3,000 (excluding VAT), entirely from walk-in customers, demonstrating the untapped potential of the business. Busy days are always when the market is on, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

The ground floor comprises a fully equipped takeaway, customer seating area, commercial kitchen, preparation room and separate chip preparation room. The first floor offers two generous rooms, a family bathroom and separate WC, presenting an opportunity to create owner's accommodation (subject to any necessary consents) or provide additional commercial space.

There is significant scope to increase turnover by extending the opening hours into the evening, introducing deliveries through platforms such as Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo, and developing an online ordering website. The menu could also be expanded to include pizzas, kebabs, desserts, meal deals and other high-margin takeaway items to appeal to a wider customer base.

The property also offers flexibility for alternative commercial uses, subject to any necessary planning consents, making it an attractive opportunity for both owner-operators and investors.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the potential this long-established freehold business has to offer.
