An incoming operator can develop a varied cafe-style offering including freshly prepared food, breakfasts, snacks, light lunches and hot and cold drinks, with minimum core trading hours of 7:00am to 3:00pm, Monday to Friday.

The opportunity is particularly suited to an experienced cafe, catering or food operator seeking a trading location with an established customer base and regular daily footfall. The premises include a dedicated catering preparation area, walk-in fridge access, separate wash-up area with commercial push-through dishwasher, customer-facing service counter, preparation space and till position. The operator also benefits from communal customer seating, a designated parking space, delivery access and use of toilet facilities within the building.

A new five-year Repairing Lease is offered. Both landlord and tenant have a break clause at the end of Year 1, after which either party can terminate the lease by providing at least three months' prior written notice. A reasonable level of electricity and water consumption is included within the rent, and VAT will not be payable on the rent.

The tenant must provide their own crockery, cutlery, trade equipment and utensils. The tenant has the option to purchase an iCombi Classic Oven, while other specified items remain the property of the landlord, with a full inventory list to be provided.

The opportunity is being offered through a sealed-bid process. A tender form is available on request and must be returned by 1:00pm on Wednesday 14 October 2026. Rental bids should be accompanied by details of the prospective operator's circumstances, financial position and relevant trade experience. The landlord's priority is to select an operator capable of providing good-quality products, value for money and quality service.
