Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market The Terrace Café Bar. The café was originally established in the 1960’s and is well known in this beautiful town. Our client first took over in 2013 but is now looking to sell the business due to health reasons and for the desire to focus on other interests. The café is run as a traditional coastal business. The business is within walking distance of Weston’s large sandy beach and two piers again within a few minutes’ walk. This is a perfect location for a highly profitable café. The cafe is open weekdays selling a fantastic range of high quality foods. They are also open lunches and dinners. Later on in the evenings the café transforms into a bustling bar. This is a very popular café and this is shown through the generous reviews on TripAdvisor; the business does have 5* reviews on the website. As per the 2015 accounts turnover is in the region of £64,500 with a gross profit at circa 63%. Although this is a great turnover we feel this could be increased in many ways. One way to boost turnover would be to expand the online presence. The new owner could look to develop a website to advertise the menu. Social media is also a great way of promoting a business, it is also free. This is a sea side town and so it is of a major importance that the business advertises to all potential tourists in any way possible. The current vendor has been running the business at a steady pace to suit their needs. This café would highly benefit from an ambitious new owner who is looking for an already thriving coastal business. The café is set in an unrivalled position and we are advised by our client that in the busy summer months there is always a queue of customers waiting to use the alfresco terrace dining area. The business is surrounded by bed and breakfast accommodation with holiday makers looking for a great place to eat. The café already receives a generous amount of repeat trade from both locals and tourists. We feel custom can only increase with the redevelopment in the area. This a perfect opportunity for a husband and wife team looking for a change of lifestyle in a beautiful seaside town. Hilton Smythe highly advise early viewing to avoid disappointment.
The business is run by our client with the help of a manager 2 part time bar staff and 1 part time waitress plus casual members of staff.
The business is open- Monday - Sunday: 9:30am – 12am The licence is until 2am.
