Overview
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established and highly regarded bistro restaurant in a prime Leicestershire town centre location. Trading continuously since 2014, the business has built an outstanding reputation for quality food, attentive service, and a warm, welcoming dining atmosphere over more than eleven years of successful operation.
The business consistently generates strong annual revenues approaching £500,000, supported by a loyal and repeat customer base. Owner-managed with both partners working part-time, the operation is underpinned by a reliable and experienced team, making it well suited to either an incoming owner-operator or an investor seeking a management-run opportunity. The current owners are pursuing unrelated business interests, creating a genuine and motivated sale.
