The proprietor of a fish and chip café in the Greater Manchester market town of Bury is looking for a new owner to take over after almost 25 years in business.

Ashworths fish and chip shop has a five-star food hygiene certificate and has been operated by its current owner, Christine Ashworth, since 1994. It is a fully equipped fish and chip shop which also houses a café with seating for 16, and is located in a busy commercial district on the edge of the town centre.

The sale includes a Henry Nuttall two-pan range and a well-equipped kitchen, including commercial fridge, industrial toaster, three microwave ovens and a six-hob range. It is currently run by Mrs Ashworth with one member of staff, and is open from 8am to 1.15pm Mondays to Fridays and from 8am to 11am on Saturdays.

The business makes a gross profit of £34,000 on annual turnover of £57,000. It is a reluctant sale, with Mrs Ashworth seeking to exit the business to concentrate on family commitments.
