Very Popular Restaurant in Stone, Staffordshire For Sale

Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this very popular restaurant business in Stone, Staffordshire. The business was established by our client in 2013 and is only now, reluctantly, being offered to the market due to our client’s other business commitments. The business currently operates 6 days per week and generates an exceptional turnover in the region of £242,000 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 64%. The newly refurbished restaurant, which is currently in the Michelin guide, offers a fresh, stylish and comfortable environment with very high quality and seasonal menus. All the produce is acquired from as close to the restaurant as possible. All the ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible, with all the dairy products from within Staffordshire. The property boasts a 30 cover restaurant area to the ground floor, as well as 30 covers to the first floor. To the rear of the property is a fully fitted commercial kitchen. Within the short time the restaurant has been operating, the business has built up an enviable reputation within the area for the high quality of the goods and services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. We feel the turnover could be increased by extending the opening hours, especially by opening on Sunday evening and Mondays. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign to promote the fayre and services offered. The business already has an excellent and informative website in place to advertise the business at www.cullensrestaurant.co.uk. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this popular and busy restaurant to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
