SOLD - Brunchy Deli & Bakery, Bilsthorpe, Newark

SANDWICH BAR in Newark

Nestled in the heart of Bilsthorpe, the business presents as a charming, well-established sandwich bar, currently run by our clients alone. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully fitted, profitable business that combines a strong local presence with scope to grow - ideal for an ambitious first-time buyer or someone looking to add a manageable food-service outlet to their portfolio. The business also holds a 5-star food hygiene rating, reflecting high standards of cleanliness and compliance. For a buyer, this rating is not just a compliance badge - it's a powerful selling point in its own right, reassuring customers that the business meets demanding food-safety standards. VERY EASY HOURS - only 29 hours per week. Given the modest current trading hours, a new owner could easily increase trade by  extending the opening hours or add trading days. Equally, there is the potential to expand the menu, perhaps extending the hot food items, breakfast offerings, drinks, or even light lunches and explore new revenue streams such as delivery services or outside catering. Premises situated in a popular, residential area with regular passers-by and returning customers. The premises are glass fronted and benefit from layby parking, immediately to the front.  Inside, the layout has been thoughtfully configured for efficient counter-service with twin glass, refrigerated, serve over counters to the rear, good preparation area and kitchen beyond.

LET - Restaurant premises in Desborough, Kettering

CLOSED RESTAURANT PREMISES in Kettering

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire a fully licensed and beautifully appointed restaurant in a commanding main road position beside the Travel Plaza Hotel. The location alone provides enormous promise - the hotel serves a steady flow of business travellers and tourists yet offers no dining facilities of its own, creating a ready-made audience for breakfast, casual dining, and evening meals that an incoming operator can immediately tap into. Set between Market Harborough and Kettering, with excellent visibility from the A6 / B576, the surrounding residential population, passing traffic, and hotel guests collectively present a lucrative and largely untapped market. 

This is a sensibly priced and highly versatile restaurant opportunity offered with a new lease on appealing rental terms. In the right hands, it is a site with the potential to generate significant revenue. The combination of its superb trading position, excellent facilities, and the guaranteed footfall from the hotel next door makes this an outstanding proposition for an ambitious operator seeking a statement venue with considerable commercial upside.

The premises themselves are impressive from the moment of arrival. The main restaurant, able to accommodate around 90 covers, offers an elegant and spacious setting finished to a remarkably high standard. As seen in the images provided, the dining room features striking chandeliers that illuminate the marble tiled floor, creating an atmosphere that is both luxurious and inviting. The layout flows naturally from a welcoming reception area into a stylish cocktail bar and the open plan dining space, making the venue ideal for everyday dining as well as special events and private functions.

Beyond the main restaurant, a bright conservatory-style dining area provides a further 38 covers. This additional room is perfectly suited for a dedicated breakfast service, allowing a new operator to attract hotel guests first thing in the morning, guests who currently have no on-site dining option. This alone presents a substantial and recurring revenue stream. 

The commercial kitchen comprises a well-organised, stainless-steel environment equipped with a wide range of high grade cooking and preparation facilities, including a Rational Self Cooking Center. The kitchen’s layout and equipment levels allow for efficient service at high volume, making it suitable for a wide range of cuisines, from Italian or French to contemporary fusion concepts. Alongside this, operators will find a dedicated pot wash area within the kitchen, a beer and wine store, and well maintained ladies’, gents’, and accessible WC facilities.

Externally, the restaurant benefits from attractive garden areas, a feature fountain, a patio suitable for outdoor seating, and access to a vast shared car park serving both the restaurant and the adjacent hotel. This level of parking is rarely available and enhances the site’s suitability for destination dining, celebrations, and large bookings. EPC Band E
