Thriving Town Centre Restaurant In Ambleside Cumbria For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving restaurant, which was established by our clients in 1987 and which is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business trades 6 days a week, for 10 months of the year, closing for 6 to 8 weeks in winter. Ambles generates a turnover in the region of £150,000 per annum, derived from a high quality food menu and an extensive range of wine and alcohol. We feel the turnover could be increased by extending opening times and introducing a lunch menu. There is also the potential for a website to be established advertising food and services provided. The business has a loyal customer base and is renowned for providing fresh locally produced food, fine wines and a selection of locally brewed beers. The restaurant has an excellent reputation and has received a 5 star food rating, 4 years in a row. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade with a large restaurant and commercial kitchen. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already thriving restaurant, with scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
