Cafe & Sandwich Bars, Northumberland

LICENSED COFFEE LOUNGE AND BISTRO (28 COVERS) in Seaton Delaval for Sale.

Located on a busy main road in the centre of a densely populated community just outside Whitley Bay in the North East of England, this cafe is licensed to serve alcohol from 9am to 10pm Sunday to Thursday and through to 11pm on Friday and Saturday. The business has been established for many years and under the same ownership since 2012. It is only now, due to the owners intention to relocate closer to her family, that the cafe is offered. Annual Turnover £82,803. Offering everything from exceptional coffee to all day breakfast, afternoon teas and home-cooked dinners, but as yet not taking advantage of most of the online food ordering and delivery portals (other than JustEat) or making the most of Social Media, the potential here is obvious. With the benefit of a very difficult to get alcohol licence, the opportunity to operate an evening micro bar business in addition to the daytime cafe operation this business is ripe for enterprising new owners to take it new and exciting levels of trade. Of late, the cafe has been operated by husband and wife owners on a low-key basis and with short openings from just 8.30am to 3.30pm. The business purposely trades below the VAT threshold.

The Premises: Ground floor lock up premises within a parade of other shops and businesses. Attractive signage and entry to an open plan dining floor comfortably accommodating 28 to 30 customers. Corner bar servery with dessert displays, back bar with espresso machine, hanging spirit optics, under-counter bottle chillers and glass washer. Customer WC, disabled persons compliant.
