The double fronted café also has seating directly outside and a first floor area that could be utilised to give more seating.
The café has a Facebook page with 5* reviews, 4.5 TripAdvisor rating and a 5* Yell rating.
There is room for development by carrying out one or more of the following:-
Create a website
Utilise the first floor area for extra seating of up to 8 more paying customers
Extend opening hours
There is currently a very competitively priced menu, prices could be increased slightly to generate a higher turnover.
Hilton Smythe highly advise early viewing to avoid disappointment.
The business is run and managed by our client and his partner.
Monday-Saturday: 9.00 am - 5.00 pm closing at 4.00 pm in the winter months
