Other information

Competition / Market:

Our client purchased the business in 1993 and is selling now due to retirement. It trades as café/sandwich bar offering an extensive range of sandwiches and baguettes together with jacket potatoes etc and a range of drinks including coffee, teas, soft drinks and beer etc. An all day breakfast is also served. No advertising is currently undertaken. The premises are licensed and our client in the past has traded more as a café bar but the second bar/seating area on the lower ground floor is not currently utilised nor is the rear garden where a number tables used to be placed. New working owners will have great scope to increase sales or alternatively take the business in a new direction.

Reasons for selling:

Retirement

Trading hours:

Monday to Friday 7.00am to 3.00pm; Saturday 8.00am to 1.00pm; Sunday closed
