Operating from a ground floor retail unit on a busy commuter road, the premises, is available for a new lease of £900 per month.

The vendor has introduced new catering equipment and fittings to the property, providing a "warm and welcoming environment" for customers.

Goodwins Business Brokers say the business requires no further investment for an incoming operator who can capitalise on the current fit out.

They also highlight potential expansion opportunities for the business, including franchising, introducing a mobile catering van, and expanding the menu to include more vegan and gluten-free options.

The brokers also suggest increasing operating hours, as the business currently operates through peak periods with limited evening hours from Friday to Monday.

Goodwins emphasise that viewing is essential to appreciate the quality of the business on offer.
