Beloved Edinburgh chippy hits the market after family run business for years

Fat Tony’s fish and chip shop and pizzeria is looking for new tenants to take over the leasehold.

The chipper that is located in Mayfield Road is well located for football and regulars to take advantage of.

Those looking to take on the unit would be required to pay a £20,000 leasehold for the eatery space that includes a chipper style basement, a space in the back including pizza ovens that could be used by a variety of takeaway enterprises and a front of house space that is traditionally suited for chippies.

The current occupiers of Fat Tony’s have been in the space for five years but the unit is now seeking new occupiers.

Being advertised by Cornerstone Business Agents, they describe the businesses unit and potential opportunity as: “This well-established fish & chip shop is situated in a prominent position on Mayfield Road, part of a main thoroughfare on Edinburgh’s south side which links Cameron Toll Shopping Centre with the heart of the city centre.

“The surrounding area is densely populated with a mix of inhabitants whilst the city centre with all its attractions such as Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile and Princes Street only a 10 minute drive away.

Front of house of the business. (Cornerstone.)

“Our client has owned and operated this business now for five years having taken over from the previous operator who traded here as a fish and chip shop for over 30 years. The shop is in immaculate condition throughout and would suit ideally an owner operator looking to develop what is already a successful and well known operation.

“Our client chooses to operate evenings only and with a restricted menu, they offer deliveries whilst there is undoubtedly an opportunity to expand the current menu.

Kitchen area of the takeaway. (Cornerstone.)

“The large preparation area to the rear houses all the equipment required to service a business such as this including pizza ovens and refrigeration whilst the basement houses the chipper and peeler and further preparation and storage space.

“The unit could also suit a change of style of cuisine where the large kitchen area to the rear could easily be utilised for this.

“A guide price of £20,000 is sought for the leasehold interest in the property and all fixtures & fittings pertaining thereto.”
