RESTAURANT in Helmsley 

Located in the centre of a historic market town with a colossal amount of visitor footfall throughout the year.  Just a few steps from medieval castle ruins and a bustling market square filled with unique shops, cozy pubs and award winning restaurants, of which this is one.  Highly prominent premises with a profile to both the busy main street and entrance off the market square.  Currently laid out to spaciously seat 42 diners, but capable of accommodating more.  Neutrally decorated to suit any manner of theme or cuisine, the premises is suitable for any food led or wet led style of operation.  The business is renowned for its Michelin recommended high quality food offering, locally sourced and served with a certain flair, but would be equally popular with a simpler menu offering, given the amount of tourist visitor footfall that this historic market town enjoys.

SOLD - Mario's Diner, Marsden, Huddersfield

VIBRANT VILLAGE DINER / CAFE BAR in Huddersfield.

Marsden, in the picturesque Colne Valley has recently become a very welcoming, bohemian style village filled with interesting and unique independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.  An influx of new tourists and visitors to the area has boosted the local economy and created a vibrant and bustling street food and bar scene.  Our client acquired the business just a year ago, but admits that they are not suited to the industry and now wish to exit in order to take up a different career path.  Located in the centre of the busiest street in the village, the diner is well placed with lots of daily footfall.  Currently operating as a traditional diner and run on short opening hours, the business would benefit from obtaining a licence to serve alcohol to its customers, opening up a huge opportunity to attract additional revenue.  In our opinion, a wet-led operation such as a craft ale or gin / prosecco bar would prove hugely successful here, as the surprisingly large premises, over three floors, could easily manage more customer capacity.  There is also an Ice Cream Parlour with 2 Ice Cream freezers for Artisan Ice Cream. 

Air conditioned dining room currently spaciously laid out to accommodate 36 diners.  Display deli-counter servery, bar counter top and long back bar.  Kitchen, comprehensively equipped with commercial quality catering equipment.  Disabled persons compliant customer WC.  Storage room.  First Floor, elegant dining room easily accommodating 20 customers.  Dry and chilled goods storage room.  Second floor open plan space, currently showcasing a local artists paintings, but useful for many other uses.  The premises are superbly appointed in all areas and need no additional capital investment.  Priced to sell quickly, this is a huge opportunity to acquire a sizeable venue in a picturesque riverside village which is rapidly becoming the next visitor hotspot.  Overheads are low with very reasonable rent for the size of the premises and benefitting from full Small Business Rates Relief for our client. Business on lease. Ref: 590145
