Hilton Smythe are pleased to present to the market the Wonderful Cafe, established as a cafe business over 10 years ago and transformed into the wonderful cafe by our client 2 years ago, who due to her wish to start a family is now selling.
The cafe has been transformed by our client who has replaced most of the kitchen equipment, decorated throughout and added a new barista coffee machine.
The cafe is enjoying a growing turnover with 2018-2019 looking to achieve an increase of 13% and a net profit ratio of 33%.
The cafe is both a local hub for locals and their families as well as attracting many local tradesmen and builders who love their excellent breakfast menu.
The secluded outside rear terrace is very popular in the summer and offers further development opportunity with a large outbuilding ideal for private parties/ birthdays.
The menu includes breakfasts, freshly made sandwiches and toasties, salads, homemade specials, cakes, light bites, jacket potatoes, smoothies and milkshakes as well as outside catering menu for special events, fresh coffees, hot chocolate, cold drinks and kids’ menu.
The cafe is both children friendly and dog friendly.
Currently 80% of the Turnover comes from Eat in Customers and 20% from Takeaway.
There is an excellent Facebook page and Instagram page included.
We are advised the cafe is particularly busy in the morning breakfast period.
Any new buyer may look to investigate the following areas to further increase the current Turnover -
- Extend the current opening hours
- Increase outside catering
- Add local deliveries through any of the delivery partners such as Just Eat
- Increase private hire for both children’s parties and family celebrations
- Add an evening ‘pop up’ bistro styled menu
The business is run and managed by our client with the help of 2 x part time staff members (1 of which is self-employed).

TUESDAY TO FRIDAY - 8am to 3pm
