SOLD - The Coffee House, Pateley Bridge

IDYLLIC YORKSHIRE DALES CAFE, TEA ROOM, COFFEE SHOP in Pateley Bridge 

A picture postcard setting in an attractive courtyard, in one of the most visited Dales market towns, this well-loved coffee shop has been under the same ownership for almost twenty years. A truly idyllic lifestyle business now awaits new owners. The cafe benefits from a vast amount of footfall from visitors and tourists all year around and has excellent internal and external seating to accommodate customers in all weathers. Trading just 25 hours over a five-day week, there is huge scope for new owners to extend the opening hours and even open up on Sundays, which tends to be the busiest day of the week for this walkers and cyclists paradise. The current owner chooses to run the coffee shop on a low-key basis, hence their wish to now pass the reins of this successful cafe business to new owners who can dedicate more time and energy to the operation. Shortened opening hours keep annual turnover just below the VAT threshold. Ambitious new owners may wish to take the business to a whole new level, with extended openings, retailing deli goods or adding an evening bistro element to the operation.

Eye catching, local stone built, cottage mews style property of which the cafe occupies a ground floor area incorporating a service counter with display chillers and well-equipped food prep kitchen, plus a quaint dining room accommodating 20 customers. Customer WC. The external stone-flagged courtyard is a lovely environment for customers wishing to take their tea and cake al fresco, and seating here is permitted for 16. EPC Band B.

SOLD - We Buy Gold, Cleckheaton

GOLD DEALER, FOREX AND PAWN BROKER in West Yorkshire

This is an easily run business for which no previous experience is necessary. The business operates relatively simple systems and procedures buying in precious metals in the form of scrap jewellery and making a margin on the difference between the spot rate and the price paid to customers of the business.  The gold is then sold onto gold refiners and the business uses a number of different refiners to ensure the best possible return.  Similarly the same systems are applied to the purchase and sale of foreign currencies with a margin applied to each transaction and a higher margin is applied to the more exotic currencies.  Whilst the business is simplicity itself to run, it has proved itself to be VERY PROFITABLE for our client.  Situated in this busy shopping centre which has recently undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment within this bustling West Yorkshire town centre.  Business on lease.

SOLD - Mermaid Fish & Chips Restaurant & Takeaway, Morley, Leeds

LICENSED FISH AND CHIPS RESTAURANT AND TAKEAWAY in Leeds

Ernest Wilson are delighted to bring to market this truly outstanding detached restaurant and takeaway standing in its own grounds and large 50 space car park - so very rarely do businesses of this calibre reach the open market.  The long established business has traded from this site since 1976 during which time it has developed a fantastic reputation and is incredibly well known in the region.  The premises occupy one of the most prominent sites in West Yorkshire, adjacent to a large supermarket and petrol station – high footfall area.  The licensed restaurant and takeaway is operated entirely by staff due to our clients’ other business interests and works in seven days closing at 9pm daily, boasting a fabulous weekly turnover.  Our client has operated the business since 2022 and has since refurbished the premises throughout at great expense - early inspection is highly recommended here.  The business offers superb potential for an owner operator to build on the solid foundations here and the site is large enough to introduce an additional restaurant / takeaway cuisine offering or dark kitchen to further increase revenue.  One of the best sites seen in a number of years. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The premises are held on secure lease and comprise spacious panelled and tiled outsales area with total glass frontage and sporting a five-pan computerised island range.  Open preparation areas incorporating two walk-in cold rooms, fish preparation, potato preparation and delivery bay.  Full commercial kitchen that would suit the keenest of chefs, offering an abundance of hi-tech commercial equipment and automated dishwashing system. Four store rooms, staff area and staff toilets.  Superbly appointed and spacious bar and restaurant seating 110 in comfort with scope to add more if so required.  Servery station and ice cream counter.  Ladies, gents and disabled toilets.
