A Turnkey, Profitable Restaurant & Wine Bar Business with Significant Growth Potential
An exciting opportunity has arisen to acquire a well-established restaurant, takeaway and wine bar business in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, offering an excellent combination of strong trading performance, attractive premises, an established customer base and significant potential for further growth.
The business has been successfully operated for approximately 10 years, building a loyal local following through quality food, excellent service and a welcoming dining experience. In addition to the established restaurant and takeaway operation, the premises also benefit from a fully completed upstairs wine bar with its own separate bar area and approximately 40 additional seats.
The upstairs wine bar forms part of the overall business and is included in the sale. It provides an exciting additional hospitality space that can be developed for wine and drinks service, private parties, functions, events and other occasions.
The current owner is now looking to sell due to personal circumstances and forthcoming medical treatment. This is therefore a genuine opportunity for a new owner to take over an established and profitable operation with multiple areas for future development.

The Business
This is a beautifully presented, modern restaurant offering a comfortable and inviting dining experience.
The premises include a fully fitted commercial kitchen, main restaurant dining area, licensed bar, preparation areas, storage facilities and function space, providing everything required for a new owner to continue trading immediately.
The main restaurant currently accommodates approximately 95 guests.
Separate Upstairs Wine Bar
A major additional feature of the property is the fully completed wine bar located upstairs from the main restaurant.
The upstairs wine bar is a separate, dedicated hospitality area, complete with its own bar facilities and approximately 40 additional customer seats.
This area has already been fitted out and completed, meaning a new owner can take advantage of the additional space without having to undertake the major work or investment normally required to create a second hospitality area.
The upstairs wine bar is part of the overall restaurant business and is included in the sale.
It offers considerable potential for additional income through:
Wine and drinks service
Cocktail evenings
Private parties
Birthday and celebration bookings
Corporate events
Private hire
Tasting events
Themed evenings
Functions and special occasions
Additional evening trade
The upstairs space could also be operated alongside the main restaurant during busy periods or developed as a more intimate and premium destination in its own right.
Combined Seating Potential
The main restaurant provides approximately 95 seats, with the completed upstairs wine bar providing a further 40 seats.
This gives the overall premises approximately 135 customer seats across the two separate areas, subject to the applicable licensing and capacity requirements.
This additional space represents a particularly attractive opportunity for a purchaser looking to increase revenue without needing to acquire additional premises.
Location
The restaurant occupies a prominent and highly visible position in Rotherham, benefiting from a busy surrounding area with a mixture of independent businesses, restaurants, pubs, bars, shops and local amenities.
Its location provides excellent exposure to the local community while also benefiting from passing trade and customers visiting the surrounding businesses and leisure venues.
The combination of restaurant dining, takeaway, delivery and the separate upstairs wine bar gives the business several complementary revenue streams.
Trading Hours
The current trading hours are:
Monday: Closed
Tuesday – Thursday: 5:30pm – 10:00pm
Friday – Saturday: 5:30pm – 11:00pm
Sunday: 5:30pm – 9:30pm
These relatively focused trading hours provide an incoming owner with considerable scope to increase revenue by extending opening hours, introducing lunch service, increasing takeaway availability or developing the upstairs wine bar through additional evening trade, functions and events.
Staff
The business currently operates with 8 members of staff, providing an experienced team already familiar with the day-to-day operation of the restaurant.
The current owner is willing to provide a suitable handover and training period to help ensure a smooth transition for the new owner.
