Bistro Cafe & Gift Shop For Sale

Business description

The limited company operates as a bistro café and gift shop during the day and as a restaurant on a few selected evenings. The premises were completely renovated and transformed into a bistro/café in 2005 and the business has gradually established itself in the area, with year on year growth. The business added a further income stream by establishing an up market gift shop on the lower floor of the premises in June 2007. Despite no previous experience in the restaurant industry, the current owners have developed a very good reputation amongst clientele and have secured the services of an excellent chef. They now present an up and running, vibrant business.
