THE BUSINESS:
Our clients have owned and operated the Minishant Restaurant since 2010, however the premises traded as the Minishant Inn for many years prior, and are therefore extremely long established and something of an institution in the area.
Our clients changed it from a village pub and restaurant to more of an out and out restaurant, focusing on home-made, quality, gastro pub style food and excellent service, and this has proved extremely popular. The business enjoys an excellent reputation and a loyal and regular customer base from the surrounding area including Alloway and Maybole, but also benefits from the high levels of tourists, day-trippers & golfers etc who flock to the Ayrshire area, particularly in the spring/summer months.
A new owner may choose to revert back to more of a pub/restaurant, or alternatively the premises would easily lend themselves to an alternative style of cuisine such as Indian/Italian/Chinese etc.
Due to ill health, our client currently only trades limited hours, trading Thursday/Friday 4pm-close and Saturday/Sunday 12-close, however there is huge potential for a new owner operator to increase these hours.
The subjects also benefit from an additional kitchen which could be used for a separate business opportunity such as outside catering or a delivery led food business.
