Business Information

A well-established licensed café bar is now available for sale in a prominent town centre position in East Staffordshire. Operating as a daytime café serving coffee, light lunches and home-made cakes, the business also trades as a fully licensed bar on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, with live music a regular feature. Since the current owners took over in May 2025, trade has grown steadily month on month.

The business generates an annualised turnover of approximately £253,000 (excluding VAT), with a gross profit margin of around 58% and an adjusted net profit of £27,500. Trading has shown a strong upward trend throughout the period, with October to December representing the strongest months to date. The business has earned an excellent reputation locally, holding a 4.8-star rating on Google and a 100% recommendation rate on Facebook across 40 reviews.

The premises occupy a characterful single-floor town centre unit with a substantial bar counter with multiple real ale and keg taps, mixed dining and lounge seating, a well-equipped kitchen, customer toilets and a small outdoor courtyard seating area. The interior has a distinctive, individual style that has proved popular with both daytime and evening customers and sets the business apart from a standard café offering.

The business is currently fully staffed, with 4 full-time and 2 part-time employees, and has been run on a largely hands-off basis by the owners. A new owner-operator taking a more active day-to-day role would have clear scope to improve profitability while benefiting from a proven concept with growing trade.
