Overview
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-turnover, fully established café and kitchen business operating from a characterful period building within one of the region's most popular and well-frequented public parks. The business has built a strong reputation over time, benefits from multiple revenue streams, and is supported by an experienced and trained team with a management structure already in place, allowing the current owner to operate with minimal day-to-day involvement.
Generating annual turnover in excess of £600,000, this is a substantial hospitality operation offering genuine flexibility for an incoming purchaser. Whether a buyer wishes to maintain the existing semi-managed model as an investor or step into a more hands-on role to drive profitability further, the business is well structured to support both approaches, making it an attractive proposition across a wide range of acquisition strategies.
Business Highlights
- Annual turnover in excess of £600,000, reflecting strong and consistent trading performance
- Multiple revenue streams including daytime café service, takeaway trade, fresh baked goods, private hire and catered events
- Approximately 140 covers across wellpresented internal and external seating areas, including a large outdoor terrace
- Experienced team in place with a daytoday management structure, enabling largely handsoff ownership
- Significant scope to increase profitability through greater owner involvement and operational efficiencies
- Strong organic footfall from the park setting, reducing reliance on paid marketing
- Clear growth opportunities including evening trading, licensed alcohol sales and expanded event bookings
Location
The business occupies a prominent and highly desirable position within a large, well-known public park in the county, attracting a consistent and diverse customer base throughout the year, including families, walkers, cyclists, dog owners and local residents. The surrounding area benefits from a strong residential catchment and good transport connections, supporting reliable day-to-day trade alongside significant uplifts during organised events, seasonal activities and large-scale festivals. The scenic park setting encourages longer dwell times and repeat visits, making the location itself a key commercial asset. The precise location is disclosed on receipt of a signed NDA.
Premises & Tenure
The business operates from a characterful period building that has been well maintained and fitted to a high standard, combining original features with a modern café interior. The premises include an open-plan service and counter area, a dedicated coffee station, a fully equipped commercial kitchen with extraction, and a well-finished internal seating area. External trading space includes a large terrace and additional park-side seating, with scope for seasonal expansion. The business is held on a leasehold basis and is presented in strong trading condition with no immediate requirement for capital investment.
