Well Presented Restaurant and Guest House

CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established restaurant and guest house business, which is ideally located within the village of Wylam, Northumberland.

The business was originally established in 1987 and has been in our clients’ careful ownership since 2002. Only now is the business being offered to the market due to our clients’ desire to move away from the area. The bistro currently operates 5 evenings per week and generates a turnover in the region of £107,000 per annum, with a good gross profit.

Our clients’ offer a wide variety of classic French, Moroccan and English fayre, with starters such as baby stuffed peppers with goat’s cheese and black pudding with mushroom risotto with a poached egg, main courses, with classic French dishes such as Boeuf Bourguignon and Cassoulet.

The property boasts a spacious 89 sq. metres of floor space, with an L-shaped restaurant to the ground floor with 35 covers and a commercial kitchen. To the first floor are four guest bedrooms, all of which are en-suite. To the second floor is the owners’ accommodation, which offers a further two bedrooms.

The business has built up an enviable reputation within the area and further afield for the very high quality of the food, service and accommodation offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. The business also has excellent website reviews on the very popular travel website Trip Advisor.

We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours, perhaps by opening every evening within the week, or offering a lunchtime service. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign to promote the excellent food and service offered. The business already has an informative website in place at bistroenglaze.webs.com.

This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this already thriving business to the next level; therefore, early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

The business is owner run and managed with 8 x staff members.

The business is open:

Monday: Closed
Tuesday: - Saturday: 6.00pm – close.
Sunday: Closed

The guest house operates all year round.
