Genuine Sale

The business is that of a family run Italian restaurant and take away.
This is the only genuine Italian Restaurant in the area. The business is
operated on restricted hours and only trades six days a week, closing
on a Wednesday, between 5:30 and 9:00 pm. The owner’s pride
themselves on sourcing all ingredients locally and providing a warm
and welcoming service to all their customers. The restaurant has an
excellent local reputation. Prices range from £4.00 to £6.00 for starters,
£7.50 to £18.00 for mains and all desserts are £4.50.

During the summer months the restaurant can do upwards of 380
covers per week with an average spend of around £15-18 per head.
The current proprietors limit reservations to around 1 and a half
sittings per evening at the weekends.

Trade could easily be improved by opening for longer hours and
offering a lunchtime menu. This could be marketed to local businesses
and residents with special offers to increase custom. The modern and
tasteful décor of the restaurant would easily suit other ethnical
cuisines or a traditional Scottish menu. There is also scope to improve
the business within the Italian menu.

Full accounting information will be made available after a formal viewing
of the premises.
