A long-established and well-regarded traditional fish and chip shop, Longford Fish Bar serves the Cannock community and surrounding area with a classic menu of fish, chips, kebabs and fast food favourites. The business operates solely as a takeaway, with strong repeat custom from locals and a steady stream of app-based delivery trade.
The freehold property occupies a prominent trading position on Longford Road (A5190), a well-used local thoroughfare around a mile from Cannock town centre, in a mainly residential area with nearby schools, local shops and a petrol station providing a solid base of regular trade. Cannock is a busy Staffordshire market town of around 30,000 people with strong road links via the A5, A34 and M6 Toll.
The commercial premises occupy the ground floor (approximately 103.7 sqm NIA) and comprise a main service and frying area, multiple internal storage and prep areas, a staff WC, and rear access to the garden and freezer store. This figure covers the commercial floor area only and excludes the residential accommodation and rear garden.
The property includes an attached three-bedroom residence, ideal for an owner-occupier or letting income. It briefly comprises three bedrooms (currently unused, may benefit from light updating), a lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen and bathroom, gas central heating and double glazing, with direct access to a large rear garden also reachable via the shop corridor.
All equipment and fixtures are owned outright and included in the sale: 3-pan and 2-pan frying ranges, a 4-pot bain marie, three meat turners, a bold potato peeler and chipper, a walk-in freezer and prep fridges, CCTV, and a full commercial extraction canopy.
Weekly takings are reported between £6,000 and £7,000, from a mix of walk-in customers, card payments and delivery app orders. Card receipts average £2,700-£3,000 per week, with a further £600-£700 through delivery platforms such as Just Eat. The balance is cash sales from counter trade, which remains a significant part of the income.
Currently open six days a week, lunch and evening only (roughly 12pm-2:30pm and 5pm-9pm), closed Sundays. There is scope to grow turnover through extended trading hours (including lunchtime and Sunday service), refreshed pricing and menu presentation, improved social media and online visibility, and continued promotion of delivery platforms.
Offered freehold, including both the ground floor commercial premises and the residential accommodation. Offers around £395,000 plus stock, to include freehold, goodwill, fixtures, fittings and the full equipment inventory. Stock to be valued at completion.
Business rates: rateable value £6,400 effective 1 April 2026 (previously £5,100 for 2025/26). The business currently benefits from 100% relief under the Small Business Rates Relief scheme, meaning nothing is payable. 100% relief may be available to a buyer.
