CoGoGo is delighted to present Auntie Em's Tea Room & Play Village, a much-loved family destination in the heart of Worcester City Arcade. Perfectly positioned between Waterstones and Clarks Shoes, this unique business combines a welcoming cafe, children's play areas and a popular role-play village, creating a fantastic all-weather destination for families and the local community.
Established in 2019, the business has built an outstanding reputation and enjoys a loyal customer base, strong social media presence and multiple revenue streams. The spacious cafe offers approximately 50 covers both inside and out, serving a varied menu including breakfasts, toasties, paninis, jacket potatoes, sandwiches, homemade treats and speciality drinks. The commercial kitchen also provides excellent scope for a new owner to expand the menu further by introducing a larger food offering.
A free children's play area downstairs encourages repeat custom, with toys regularly donated and available for children to enjoy when accompanying adults spend over £5 in the cafe.
A major feature of the business is the fully equipped Role Play Village, introduced two years ago, which has significantly increased revenue despite current economic conditions. The village includes a beautifully themed salon, veterinary practice, cafe, grocery store, campsite, family home with garden, BBQ and picnic area, plus builders' dress-up station. It currently accommodates parties of up to 12 children twice daily, charged at £7.50 per child including one accompanying adult, and benefits from its own online booking system via SimplyBook.
Additional income opportunities are available through the recently introduced Just Eat takeaway service, which has received very little marketing to date, presenting an easy opportunity for future growth.
The business currently trades reduced hours due solely to the owner's personal circumstances, having previously operated seven days a week. With longer opening hours, additional trading days, expanded takeaway marketing and further party bookings, there remains significant potential to increase turnover.
This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a profitable, well-established lifestyle business with an excellent reputation, loyal clientele and genuine scope for future expansion.
