The market has a well-established fish and chip takeaway in Coventry, which also offers three-bedroom accommodation above the shop. George’s Fish Bar, located on Proffitt Avenue in Bell Green, is for sale for £90,000.
George’s Fish Bar has been in business for 18 years and has been under the current owner since 2015. The three-bedroom accommodation above the shop is currently sublet for £400 per calendar month.
The current owner has continually invested in new equipment along with accessories, all bought and paid for and included in the sale price. The lace was put up for sale so that the owner could enjoy a “well-deserved retirement”.

The listing says the store is in a “highly visible and prominent” commercial location and is close to a number of retailers, including a convenience store, bookies, home appliance stores, barbers and hairdressers. The area is also populated with residential properties, has good parking and easy access to major A roads.
The takeaway has a 4.5 star rating on Google reviews, with many saying they offer “great fish and chips” at “reasonable prices”. Leo Delaney said: “I have just moved to the area and have heard a lot about this chippy, trust me when I say the food is first class, the chips are second to none and the boss’s home made chilli sauce on his kebabs, simply the best, love this place.”
Rebecca Cooper added: “Friday night treat for the kids and they love it. The chicken and doner kebabs are fresh, tasty with lovely sauces and salad, the chips are tasty, fresh and crispy, no soggy chips like all the other chippies in the area.”
The business is owner-managed and employs 2 full-time and 2 part-time employees. They serve traditional fish and chips, along with southern fried chicken, burgers, wraps, pies, sausages, salads, kebabs, condiments and hot and cold drinks.
The current owner believes there is further potential to “increase business” by introducing pizza, a “hands-on” owner-operator, deliveries and opening on Sundays. The business has a “strong reputation” in the local community and receives a high level of regular and repeat business with passers-by.
