Undisclosed

CoGoGo are pleased to have been given the opportunity to manage the sale of Pablo's Restaurant, which is a well-established Cafe/Coffee Shop/Restaurant with a renowned reputation amongst local residents. This is a superb opportunity to take on a popular, profitable and well-used local business in an area teeming with customers.

There has been a food-based business at this site for many years. The current owner has been running it as Pablo's Restaurant for the last twenty years, and the business has been a real labour of love for her, accruing an impressive number of regular customers and an unrivalled reputation.

This wonderful business is now being sold, albeit reluctantly and with a heavy heart, only due to personal circumstances. The vendor is keen to see her beloved coffee shop cum restaurant pass to an ambitious and entrepreneurial new owner(s) who can take this already thriving business to the next level.

The business offers a varied menu with its meals being lovingly and carefully prepared on the premises using local ingredients and seasonal products wherever possible. A sample menu includes;

Hot and Cold drinks
Salads (and Super Salads)
Main Courses
Hot Snacks
All Day Breakfast
Curries
Omelettes
Fresh Sandwiches
Desserts
Daily Specials
Afternoon Teas
Homemade cakes and biscuits
Grilled fresh fish

Pablo's Restaurant is family-friendly, fully licensed and offers free Wi-Fi. The business is proud of its 5-star hygiene rating.

The sale will include the company's Facebook page, and the business enjoys great visibility on the internet, along with impressive reviews such as;

“Lovely home-cooked food. We had the Lamb Henry and Steak & Kidney Pud followed by a gorgeous homemade custard tart and knickerbocker Glory. Great prompt service and reasonably priced. Recommended"
“Lovely and friendly waitress, made to feel welcome, food was lovely, menu had a good selection of meals, food was hot, definitely will come back next year if on holiday in Blackpool. A big thank you to all the staff"
“My favourite restaurant in Fleetwood with a refreshingly unusual choice of mains including black pudding and mustard sauce, liver and onions, corned beef hash, there were fresh fish options on the specials blackboard. The desserts looked homemade and were gorgeous"

The business previously offered Bed & Breakfast, which was successful and lucrative, and could be easily reinstated as there is considerable demand in the area from tourists and holiday makers.

Scope to Improve:
Advertising and marketing capacity
Maximise the use of social media, particularly Twitter and Instagram
Website ideally with an online ordering system
Introduce a customer loyalty card/scheme
Extend the opening hours, perhaps opening as a Bistro in the evenings or doing roast dinners on a Sunday
Introduce a delivery service with the likes of Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats, etc
Use the living accommodation as an Airbnb - there is a great demand in the area, and this would offer an additional lucrative income stream

Reasons to Buy:
A well-established business with an enviable reputation and many existing loyal customers
All fixtures and fittings included, making this a real turnkey business opportunity
Ideal as an owner-managed or partnership business
A real opportunity to increase turnover and profits significantly, especially if the living accommodation is run as a holiday let business
The current owner is happy to offer a handover to ensure the continued success
Includes generous living accommodation or letting rooms

Very rarely do restaurants of this calibre come to the open market, so an early enquiry is recommended.

Financial Profile

We are advised that, as per the 2025/26 accounts, the business generated a profitable turnover in the region of £95,000. Further financial information can be made available upon request.

Currently operating for just 24 hours per week, opening between 9 am and 2 pm 5 days a week, and closing for 5 weeks annually, this business presents an outstanding opportunity for growth. By extending the opening hours as a licenced restaurant or bar and consistent year-round operation, there is significant potential for expansion. Profitability could further be increased by using the living accommodation as B&B/AirBNB - there is a great demand in the area, and this would offer an additional lucrative income stream.
