Levantine operates from a characterful, two storey property and provides for some 40 covers 34 over ground and first floors plus 6 outside seats at the front.
The business, which is fully equipped for the trade, specialises in freshly made food from the south east corner of the Mediterranean. The business serves breakfast/brunch, mezze, flatbreads etc and also features daily 'specials'
Currently our clients operate easy hours and is closed in the evenings (save for occasional bespoke supper evenings which are popular) and on Sundays. As such there is good potential for the new owners, should they wish, to grow the turnover through operating longer hours.
Also, at present the restaurant is not licenced thus there is also potential to grow this side of the business.
