About this business
Rosens have been instructed to offer this remarkable southern England group of fish and chip shops, trading under the same ownership for over 65 years. The group produces gross audited turnover of approximately £3,000,000 per annum — around £60,000 per week — and currently operates well below the trading hours typical of a busy fish and chip shop, which points to a clear and demonstrable path toward significantly higher sales for an operator willing to extend those hours. In Rosens' view, with considered operational changes and normalised trading hours across the branches, annual group turnover could realistically approach £5,000,000.
Trading figures
Gross combined audited turnover is in the region of £3,000,000 per annum, equating to approximately £60,000 per week. Full trading accounts will be disclosed to serious prospective purchasers who are able to provide satisfactory evidence of funding — whether via bank, commercial loan, or the sale of an asset.
Trading hours
All branches currently trade well below the hours typical of a well-run fish and chip shop, representing a tangible upside for a new operator.
Business premises
Every branch is fitted and equipped to a high standard, with seating and takeaway facilities alongside well-appointed kitchens, preparation areas, and purpose-built workstations. The estate has a consistent, smart, and purposefully designed look across all sites.
Trade equipment
Each branch is equipped with well-maintained, annually serviced trade equipment headed by 3- and 4-pan frying ranges. A full inventory of trade equipment, fixtures, and fittings will be provided in due course.
Accommodation
Three of the branches include residential accommodation above, currently occupied by managers or members of staff.
Trading position
The group is located in southern England on the borders of Hampshire & Sussex. Each branch occupies a prime trading position, with several on multiple high street locations. The surrounding areas are well-populated, affluent districts that generate a strong and loyal year-round customer base, supplemented by significant seasonal footfall from nearby tourist attractions.
