CoGoGo welcomes to the market Staithe ‘n’ Willow, which has been a restaurant for many years and owned by the current vendor since 2012. Unfortunately, due to ill health our client now needs to sell.
Staithe ‘n’ Willow serves breakfasts, cream teas, Sunday roasts, has gluten free options, carries out private functions and is fully licensed for alcohol and music. There are themed nights throughout the year and has many repeat customers, whether they be local or tourists.
There is a website www.staithenwillow.co.uk and a Facebook page with a 4.9/5 rating.
This restaurant comes with a flat above, which is accessed directly through the restaurant itself, but also with a separate one bedroom cottage.
Extra income could be earned by letting out the cottage with achievable figures of £520 per week in peak season and £320 per week off peak. These have been achieved by the owner in the past with approximately 70% occupancy.
CoGoGo highly advise early viewing to avoid disappointment.
The business is run and managed by our client, with the help of 1 x full time and 2 x weekend members of staff.
