The business offers a range of freshly prepared breakfasts, lunches and suppers as well as private function catering. It has become very well known in this area and has a strong base of regular customers in place as well as benefitting from a huge amount of passing trade due to this excellent trading position. Our client has ensured the business has an excellent reputation and superb reviews are noted on Google, Facebook and Trip Advisor. Woburn Brasserie has a comprehensive website in place and a strong social media following.
LOCATION
Woburn Brasserie occupies a high street trading position within a parade of shops and other businesses. The area is well populated commercially with neighbouring businesses being mainly independent retailers. There are also a number of tourist attractions nearby including Woburn Abbey and Woburn Safari Park. Other local amenities include schools, hotels and places of worship. The area is well linked by the M1 with very strong public transport links and parking is available directly outside for ten vehicles.
REASON FOR SALE
The business is ideally suited to a hands-on owner-operator but due to our client’s other business interests being higher than anticipated, the business is offered for sale. This presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner-operator or team to take the business to the next level.
LEASE
The building is available on a Full Repair and Insure lease (FRI lease). This is the most common form of commercial lease. The current lease is a nine year lease which began in 2013 at a cost of £862.50 per week.

SUMMARY
This long established business occupies an enviable trading position in a stunning area of Woburn. Our client has secured a strong customer base and exceptional reputation. There is plenty of scope to develop the business further with the introduction of longer opening hours and possibly a delivery service.

This proposition would ideally suit an owner operating team who could push the business forward and build upon the solid and impressive trading foundations. Early viewings are strongly advised.
