CoGoGo presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a charming and well-established cafe nestled in the heart of Winchelsea - one of England's smallest and most historic towns.

With a loyal customer base, stunning High Street location, and growing tourism, this business is perfectly placed for a new owner to take the reins and flourish.

Operating successfully for over 8 years - most recently in its current location since July 2024 - the cafe has carved out a strong reputation for its warm atmosphere, excellent homemade food, and locally sourced ingredients.

The menu features breakfasts, lunches, themed afternoon teas, and occasional evening dinners, alongside handmade cakes, bakes, jams, pickles, and chutneys - all made on site and sold both in the cafe and takeaway. The cafe is also a popular venue for small parties, weddings, and funeral teas.

This is more than just a cafe - it’s a community hub with charm, history, and growth potential. The owner is reluctantly selling due to retirement and ill health, leaving behind a beautifully run business with excellent foundations for the next chapter. Don’t miss your chance to step into this thriving lifestyle opportunity.

Financial Profile

We are advised that the business generates an annual turnover of £89,038, with a gross profit of around £75,000. The business is ideally suited for a hands-on owner looking to grow or diversify.
