Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market this busy café and catering business, offering 33 covers in this popular location, priding itself in the sale of good quality freshly prepared food to eat in or take away. Very close to the centre of the vibrant city of Cardiff, with heavy footfall from the local area including the ever-growing student population the business is turning over more than £120,000 per annum, with a healthy gross profit. Net profits are lower, which is due to long term illness of the owners, who have to employ more staff than needed, to cover the café. With the wages lowered the profits would settle at a healthy level. The business comes equipped with a 2013 Citroen dispatch van, which is used for the outside catering and delivery side of the business, where they have regular customers and orders covering all events from weddings to children’s parties, funerals and corporate events. This side of the business could really be ramped up and pushed forward to the next level, given enough time and effort for development. See their website at http://www.tastebudscardiff.co.uk/index.php There is great scope for this business to move to the next level, with longer opening hours (license till 11 pm) incorporating themed evenings and private parties, together with use of the cellar as a further dining or function area. The premises offer a really good-sized kitchen and separate preparation area, allowing you to cater for a larger audience if needed. A viewing is a must to appreciate the potential on offer.

The business is currently run by the owner, 2 other full-time members of staff and 2-part time members of staff.
