Fish and chips takeaway in Silsden for Sale.
Ernest Wilson are delighted to present to market Kirkgate Fisheries, a long-established and highly regarded fish and chip shop located in the heart of Silsden. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a business with a strong reputation, solid financial performance, and significant scope for growth - both operationally and through local demographic expansion. Operating successfully for over 60 years, the business has been run by our clients for over two decades. Due to ill health and other business commitments, they have now chosen to sell, creating a unique opportunity for a motivated buyer to take the reins of a well-loved local institution.
The business is currently under-trading by design, not due to lack of demand - a strategic decision that leaves substantial room for expansion. The business currently opens only two days per week (Thursdays and Fridays), generating an impressive average weekly turnover of £2,100. The business also closes for 11 weeks annually to remain under the VAT threshold. Despite this limited trading schedule, accounts for the year ending 30th April 2025 adjusted net profits £32,789. This demonstrates the strength of the business model and the loyalty of its customer base. Since both fish and chip shops in Addingham have closed, this shop is now the first encountered when travelling from Bolton Abbey towards Keighley. During the summer, this results in strong weekend passing trade. A more hands-on operator or local buyer could easily expand trading days and unlock significantly higher revenues.
The premises are substantial and have been fitted to an exceptionally high standard. Comprising part tiled sales shop with three pan wall range, rear preparation kitchen with an array of quality stainless steel work surfaces and equipment fit out less than five years ago, chipping and rumbling room, store and WC. Dual door layout providing natural ventilation. This turnkey setup allows a new owner to begin trading immediately with minimal additional investment. Above the shop is a self-contained two-bedroom flat, continuously rented out during the current ownership. It generates £575 per calendar month (£6,900 annually) in rental income, with the rent unchanged since 2021. This offers a stable secondary income stream with potential for rent review and uplift or be used for short term lets / AirBnb (subject to any necessary consents). It could alternatively provide owner-occupier accommodation if required. The flat is well located, close to amenities, sits on the 2014 Tour de France route, and the rear yard includes an outbuilding suitable for secure bicycle storage. The local area is undergoing substantial residential expansion, significantly increasing the customer base, with recent completed development of 500 homes, 138 currently under construction and a further 780+ within the planning pipeline.
