This Edinburgh chippy is up for sale for the first time in over 30 years - for just £45k

If you're born and bred in Edinburgh, then you will know how seriously people take their chippies - and don't even get us started on our trademark salt and sauce (Glasgow, we're talking to you).

Many of the city's locals would take a poke of chips smothered in homemade brown sauce - preferably topped up with extra vinegar - over a Michelin star meal any day. And now there's the chance to take ownership of your very own traditional fish and chip shop.

La Campagnola has gone up for sale in the upmarket West End of Edinburgh, on Drumsheugh Place. It is currently on the market for a fixed price of just £45,000 after the current owner "reluctantly" decided to concentrate on other business interests.

 

The chip shop occupies an ideal location, just a short walk from Princes Street, and has had the same owner since 1986. It is a popular spot to grab a bite to eat on the go, with varying lunch and dinner options.

La Campagnola opens at lunchtime to serve up specials, such as paninis, burgers, pizzas and baked potatoes, and switches to chippy classics in the evening, offering everything from kebabs to pizzas and pasta.

As well as being a takeaway and licensed restaurant, the business also offers deliveries through its website and Just Eat, and even have an alcohol licence.

This could be the perfect opportunity for someone looking to open a fast-food business, with the chance to put your stamp on a well-established city centre spot. It also a great price considering parking spaces could set you back more in the Scottish capital.

It's worth nothing that there is a further 11 years remaining on the current lease and an annual rent charge of £27,804 - you can find more information on Zoopla here.
