Common questions
What should I check before buying a fish and chip shop?
Key things to review include trading accounts, the lease terms if leasehold, the age and condition of catering equipment, and footfall patterns. Our team can talk through what to look for on a specific listing.
Are fish and chip shops sold freehold or leasehold?
Both. Our portfolio includes freehold shops for sale and leasehold opportunities to let, so buyers can choose the option that suits their budget and long-term plans.
How do seasonal trading patterns affect a takeaway business?
Coastal and tourist-area takeaways often see higher trade in summer months, while town centre shops tend to trade more consistently year-round. We can advise on the trading pattern of a specific business when you enquire.
Which areas do you cover for fish and chip shop and takeaway sales?
We cover Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset, including seaside towns and inland market towns throughout the region.
Do I need catering experience to buy a fish and chip shop?
It helps, but is not always essential. Many buyers bring transferable hospitality or retail experience, and our team can advise on what running a particular business involves.
