Features and description
- Leasehold
Welcome to a fantastic opportunity to acquire a well-established café and outside catering business! Located in the vibrant city of Norwich in Norfolk, this business has been a cornerstone of the local community for the past 18 years. The café boasts a stellar reputation for its quality offerings, friendly atmosphere, and exceptional service. This confidential sale offers a unique chance for an enthusiastic new owner to build on a solid foundation and explore new growth avenues.
The business
Established some 18 years ago, it has built a loyal customer base thanks to its high-quality coffee, home-made cakes, sandwiches, snacks, and light meals. The café operates seven days a week, employing six full-time and four part-time staff, ensuring smooth and efficient operations and there is scope to run it more ‘hands off’ if a new owner so desired. The business holds a five-star food hygiene rating and is fully equipped, making it a turn-key operation for any prospective buyer. The café is licensed to serve alcohol and has permission for outdoor seating, enhancing its appeal. A key highlight is the wood-fired pizza oven, presenting a unique selling point and offering potential for business growth. The outside catering division, managed primarily by the vendor from home, contributes approximately 50% of the turnover and focuses on business lunches and catered events.
Premises
The café operates from leased premises in Norwich. Within the Landlords and Tenants Act 1954 (thus renewable), the leasehold tenure runs until May 2027, with an annual rent of £21,500 and two parking spaces included in the lease. The premises feature a customer area on the ground floor, and kitchen, storage, and staff facilities upstairs. The property includes a conservatory area at the rear and outside seating to the front, with 40 indoor covers and 12 outdoor covers total. The business holds licences for outside seating and alcohol, and there is potential to extend the current opening hours, providing further opportunities for increasing turnover.
