HIGHLY REGARDED LICENSED RESTAURANT in Ilkley for Sale.
A well-known family-run restaurant in the centre of this historic Yorkshire spa town surrounded by the most affluent districts in the north of England. Successfully operated for the last 22 years and having achieved an outstanding reputation for home-style cooked authentic Italian cuisine, customers have to book up to months in advance to get a reservation. A full book of forward bookings shows reservations three to four months in advance. This is truly a unique opportunity to acquire a phenomenal restaurant business with a huge following of regular customers.
The restaurant only trades over short daytime openings during the week (five days) and two weekend evenings and yet boasts enviable takings of circa £13,000 per week. Sales were £20,000 per week prior to the owner choosing to take it a little easier as he looks toward a well-earned retirement. Profitability is outstanding and full financial accounts will be available to seriously interested parties who have completed a viewing arrangement.

Internally the restaurant comfortably and spaciously accommodates 28 diners, with the outside terrace seating an additional 20 customers. Central service bar. Superbly equipped kitchen with commercial quality catering equipment throughout. High efficiency stainless steel hooded extraction system. Ladies' and Gents' WC. Rear access yard for deliveries.
