Business Information

CONFIDENTIAL SALE: This café, located in the bustling city of Norwich, Norfolk, offers a fantastic opportunity for a new owner. Operating successfully for 18 years, it is well-regarded for its friendly atmosphere, high-quality coffee, and delicious homemade offerings.

The business has been a cornerstone of the local community, building a loyal customer base. With its fully equipped premises and excellent reputation, it provides a solid foundation for further growth and development. This is a genuine retirement sale, making it an ideal time to take over a thriving and established business.

THE BUSINESS:

The café operates as a full-service venue, offering coffee, homemade cakes, sandwiches, snacks, and light meals. It is open seven days a week and employs six full-time and four part-time staff, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.

The business holds a five-star food hygiene rating and is licenced to serve alcohol. A wood-fired pizza oven adds a unique selling point, enhancing the menu and providing growth potential.

An optional outside catering arm, currently managed by the vendor, contributes to turnover by providing business lunches and event catering. While this side of the business is well-established, it offers flexibility to expand or scale back depending on the new owner's preferences and does not need to be continued with if not required.

PREMISES:

The café operates from leased premises within the Landlords and Tenants Act 1954, ensuring the lease is renewable. The current lease runs until May 2027, with an annual rent of £21,500, and includes two parking spaces.

The premises feature a customer area on the ground floor, with kitchen, storage, and staff facilities located upstairs. A conservatory at the rear provides additional seating, while outdoor seating at the front enhances customer appeal. The café has seating for 40 indoors and 12 outdoors, with licences for both alcohol and outdoor seating.

This business offers a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving café and optional catering operation with significant growth potential. Whether you are looking to be a hands-on owner or prefer a more hands-off approach, the flexibility is there to suit your management style.
