Takeaway

Key Highlights
Turnover: £5,500 per week (Strong, consistent trade with a loyal local customer base).

Versatile Space: Currently set up as a takeaway, but easily adaptable to add indoor seating/dining to create a sit-down restaurant.

Cuisine Flexibility: Perfect turn-key operation to continue as a successful Chinese takeaway, or easily convertible to suit a wide range of alternative cuisines (e.g., Thai, Burger/Fast Food, Street Food).

Massive Growth & Expansion Potential
While already generating excellent weekly revenue, the business has been operated to suit the current owner’s lifestyle, leaving clear pathways for an ambitious new owner to significantly increase profits:

Introduce Daytime Trading: Capitalise on breakfast and lunch trade by expanding current opening hours.

Create a Restaurant Space: Utilise the generous layout to add seating and capture lucrative dine-in revenue.

Alcohol Licence: The current owner has chosen not to sell alcohol. Securing an alcohol licence (for takeaway delivery, dining, or both) presents an immediate revenue boost.

Digital & Marketing: Expand delivery radius and boost online marketing/delivery platform presence.

Free Parking to the rear of the property.
