SOLD - Milk & Honey Cafe, North Leeds

CAFE AND SANDWICH BAR in North Leeds

This is a super deli, sandwich bar and coffee shop occupying a premier trading site in this very busy shopping parade - very busy main road position in this much sought after and densely populated Leeds suburb.  The business is run in easy hours by our client with the assistance of staff and having taken substantially more in the past, it’s our opinion that it could easily do so again in the right hands.  The business also enjoys an excellent passing trade.  This is an enjoyable business to run and from which to earn your living - VIEWING HERE COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  The premises are offered on a new, secure lease with sensible rent, comprising well fitted sales shop incorporating out sales counter and seating area.  To the rear is the spacious and very well fitted and equipped commercial kitchen with the added benefit of a walk in cold room which is not currently used by our client but which offers the scope to develop outside catering.  Utility room and WC.  EPC Band C.

SOLD - The Little Monk Restaurant & Bar, Horsforth, Leeds

RESTAURANT AND BAR in Leeds

An outstanding and highly sought after North Leeds town centre restaurant and bar premises. The venue was formally a well-known chain restaurant and was acquired by our clients two years ago.  The street on which this bar and restaurant is located is a very well-known drinking and dining circuit, with a colossal amount of footfall throughout the day and evening. Filled with a huge choice of cuisine and unique, vibrant bars, this bustling high street location is always highly sought after and licensed premises rarely come available. 

Highly prominent building with ground floor bar / restaurant with open feature cookline, bar with nine draft lines, beer cooler room and spaciously arranged seating to accommodate 60 covers. Additional first floor dining area accommodating 20 plus covers. The premises extends to approximately 393 square metres (4,230 square feet) over two floors, plus basement.  Outstanding back of house areas include bespoke built walk-in fridge and freezer, wait-station with Espresso machine, separate pot-wash room, chemical and mop cupboards with stainless sluice, bottle / spirits store, managers office and staff changing room. Beautifully appointed ladies and gents toilets. Ground floor disabled persons WC with baby changing facility. Trap door and steps leading to a substantial basement housing the CO2 and syrup lines and plenty of additional storage.  The spacious, open plan kitchen is superbly equipped with very high quality commercial catering equipment and a high capacity hooded extraction system.  The premises has a built-in air-conditioning and heating system, CCTV throughout. There are two private parking spaces to the rear of the property, included in the lease.  

Currently a 65/35 wet led operation, highly regarded for its vast choice of crafted beers. The size of the kitchen in truth is under-utilised, and in our opinion would be entirely suitable to again provide a larger food offering and dining capacity. Alternatively, the current bar could be moved over to the wider open kitchen, allowing for more space for tables and the venue develop into a totally wet-led operation. The potential and options here are vast. The business is currently run on modest openings and represents huge and exciting opportunities for ambitious new owners. EPC Band B. Business on lease.
