The owner of a prominent fish and chip shop in a Derby neighbourhood is hanging up the tongs after almost 30 years in the business. Chaddesden Fish Bar is a longstanding chippie off Nottingham Road – its bright blue and red signage has no doubt caught the gaze of thousands of onlookers over the decades.
Originally founded in 1960, the business has been carefully managed by the current owner since 1997, who is now offering the business and property for sale ahead of a well-deserved retirement. The business has a spacious interior lined with seating and a large professional food preparation space, perfect for tackling those busy Friday queues.
Unbeknownst to some, there is also a large area to the rear, with enough space to house a restaurant with up to 50 covers. Throughout the ownership, significant investments have been made in new equipment, fixtures and fittings, all of which are fully paid for and included in the sale price – an excellent advantage for any new purchaser as no immediate additional spending will be required.
A spokesperson for Veritas Business Sales, the company managing the sale of the business, said: “We are delighted to present this well-established Freehold Fish & Chip Takeaway which is located in Chaddesden, Derby. Situated within a prominent and highly visible trading position on the busy Nottingham Road, the takeaway is located two miles northeast of the city centre and eight miles from junction 25 of the M1 motorway.”

The chippie has been operated by the owner and one part-time staff member and generates an average weekly turnover of £3,500 – which is entirely walk-in trade. Veritas believes that there is room to boost trade at the fish bar by extending the current opening hours and by joining online delivery platforms such as Just Eat and Uber.
The takeaway offers a wide variety of traditional fish and chip classics – and some extra additions – including kebabs, sausages, burgers, southern fried chicken, vegetarian options, condiments, and soft drinks. There is also an upstairs flat with two bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen and a bathroom which is currently being rented for £850 per calendar month.
The owner has constructed a substantial 25-meter extension at the back of the property, designed as a restaurant dining space and ready for use or potential for alternative use. This is a unique opportunity to acquire an established business which is a great base to build upon and is listed with a guide price of £399,995.
