Freehold fish and chip shop with two bedroom flat in Bishop Auckland for Sale.
Established in 1991, Beedle’s Chippy is a highly regarded fish and chip takeaway with an outstanding reputation throughout Bishop Auckland and the wider County Durham area. Trading from its original Oaklea Terrace premises for over 35 years, the business has built a loyal customer following and a strong local brand synonymous with quality food and excellent service.
Occupying a very well known end-of-terrace position just off the busy Cockton Hill Road, the business benefits from a colossal amount of high density housing, strong passing trade from local residents and businesses. The town continues to benefit from significant regeneration and investment, supporting future growth opportunities.
The business has received numerous industry accolades, including being recognised as one of the North East’s leading fish and chip shops and, more recently, being named among Fry Magazine’s Top 50 Best Fish and Chip Shop Takeaways in the UK. These achievements reflect the high standards that have underpinned the business for decades.
Weekly turnover £10,000 to £12,000. Currently trading six days per week and closed on Sundays, there is scope to increase turnover through extended opening hours. Customers can order in store, online or via the dedicated Beedle’s Chippy app, while an established in-house delivery service operates using two Ford Fiesta delivery vehicles. The business does not currently utilise Just Eat or Uber Eats, offering further growth potential for a new owner.
The premises are exceptionally well equipped, featuring a Florigo four-pan frying range installed during a major refurbishment in 2016, together with a spacious customer waiting area and recently installed digital menu screens. The property also includes a spacious two-bedroom flat with separate access, currently occupied by a sitting tenant, providing additional rental income.
The premises comprise a well-equipped fish and chip takeaway with dedicated service, preparation and storage areas. The front-of-house features a customer waiting area, drinks fridge, Florigo four-pan, triple filtration frying range, two serving stations and epos till system.
To the rear is a fully fitted preparation room with stainless-steel workstations, commercial refrigeration and freezer units, together with a separate storage room for dry goods, packaging and stock. A dedicated potato preparation room houses commercial chipping and peeling equipment, supporting efficient day-to-day operations.
Externally, the property benefits from a service yard, separate potato store, additional storage room, external WC and a rear access point for staff and deliveries, providing a practical and well-organised trading environment. Two bedroom self-contained, first floor flat with private access. The roof was fully renovated in 2025 at a cost of circa £9,000 to £10,000.
The current owner benefits from Small Business Rates Relief and therefore does not currently pay business rates. However, eligibility for relief is subject to individual circumstances, and prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with the local authority to confirm whether they will qualify for any relief and the level of rates payable.
