The Garden Eatery, Bloomsbury's, Sissinghurst Road, Biddenden, Ashford, Kent, TN27 8DQ

Description

The Garden Eatery forms part of Bloomsbury's, described by the venue as a sanctuary where like-minded businesses unite to create a haven of serenity and rejuvenation, nestled amidst the picturesque Kent countryside, offering a variety of experiences including Glamping, Retreats, Log Cabins, a Restaurant, a variety of wellness services, a Herbary, and a Spa.

The venue has always revolved around sustainability and a minimal carbon footprint, coupled with a dedication to wellness, relaxation, and luxury, which is why Bloomsburys acts as a retreat for reconnection - with loved ones, nature, and oneself.

This restaurant extends to over 1300 square feet over a single ground floor level, with seating for around 75 internally and around 40 externally in the relaxing landscaped rear garden. The site offers more than ample parking for the restaurant and all other site users.

Currently, the business opens 5 days a week for breakfast, lunch and tea until 4pm. Despite having a license for 7 days a week and until 11pm, it's not being used as such, as well as offering space for private functions and occasional live music, so there is ample scope for expanding trade. Having operated the restaurant for nearly 18 years, the owners are now looking to retire from the trade.

Location

The Garden Eatery is located on the A262 Sissinghurst Road, just outside of the lovely Wealden village of Biddenden. There are good road links to both Ashford, one of the fastest growing towns in the UK, and Maidstone, the County Town of Kent, as well as south to the East Sussex and Kent coast and northwards towards London. Rail links are also within relatively easy reach for those travelling by train.

Accommodation

The business operates over a single ground floor level, with seating for around 75 (60 restaurant, 15 cafe). Entrance from the generous car park into the restaurant, with a bar severy/reception area, well equipped catering kitchen, ladies wc and access to the gents wc. Door leading out to the landscaped rear garden area, which offers a relaxing environment to eat on those warmer days, with seating for around 40.
