Aj's Takeaway, Ajs, Market Place, Tetney, Lincolnshire

Set in the heart of the picturesque Lincolnshire village of Tetney - within easy reach of Grimsby and Cleethorpes, yet wonderfully removed from their hustle and bustle - this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold asset combining an established and well-regarded takeaway business, three-bedroom residential accommodation and a consented residential development plot. AJ's Takeaway was recently recognised as "Highly Recommended" in the English Fish & Chip Awards 2026 (Lincolnshire), and is being brought to market as the vendor looks to retire and relocate overseas.

The trading business occupies a comprehensively refitted commercial kitchen, with the vendor advising that in excess of £200,000 has been invested in specialist catering equipment, fixtures and fittings since 2021. Notably, the premises currently trade just four days a week, and a bespoke wood and gas-fired pizza oven - installed as part of the fit-out - is not currently being used at all, alongside a kebab machine, chargrill and coffee machine that see only limited use. For a hands-on owner-operator, this represents a genuinely rare opportunity: a full commercial pizza operation, ready to go, with no further capital outlay required to bring it into service.

The high-specification commercial premises adjoin "Ye Olde Poste", a spacious three-bedroom residential property to be sold with vacant possession, and a rear garden benefiting from planning permission for an additional four-bedroom detached dwelling, with development works already underway. Subject to the necessary permissions, the plot may also suit alternative commercial use - as a shop, restaurant, or bistro with accommodation above - offering flexibility beyond the existing four-bedroom consent. The house, retail premises and development plot are available together or, subject to negotiation, separately.

Tetney itself is one of the area's most attractive villages - a close-knit community centred on a traditional market place, with a village pub, church, primary school, golf club and village hall all within walking distance, and the RSPB's Tetney Marshes and the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust's Blow Wells nature reserve on its doorstep. The A1031 provides swift and easy access to the beaches, seafront and amenities of Cleethorpes, and to Grimsby beyond, while the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty lies just a short drive inland - offering a genuinely enviable lifestyle setting for an owner-operator alongside a sound commercial opportunity.

This is a rare combination of trading business, freehold commercial and residential property, and a consented development opportunity - offered for genuine retirement reasons by a vendor who has invested substantially in the site since 2021.
