Barnstaple, Devon, UK
Asking Price:
£34,950 Furniture / Fixtures included
Turnover:
£50K - £100K
Net Profit:
Under £50K

Established and profitable town-centre tea room and café trading from a convenient location close to Barnstaple High Street and the popular Pannier Market. Established since 2010, the business has built a strong reputation and holds a 5-star TripAdvisor rating.

The traditional café provides 22 internal covers plus space for four additional outside covers and serves a largely homemade menu including hot and cold drinks, light lunches, cakes, cream teas, soups and snacks. The business is currently operated by a husband-and-wife team with limited part-time staffing.

Trading only four days per week from 10:30am to 4:30pm by owner choice, the business offers clear potential to increase opening days and trading hours. Turnover reached £103,000 in 2025 with a net profit of £35,000.

With a relatively low annual rent of £8,640, business rates exemption and trade fixtures, fittings and equipment included, this represents an attractive opportunity to acquire an established Barnstaple café with scope for further growth.
