SOLD - Rioja Bar & Grill, Balby, Doncaster

BAR AND GRILL in Doncaster

A vibrant and relaxing meeting place with a rustically designed interior and excellent outdoor terrace for an al fresco drinking and dining experience. The venue is fully licensed and currently offers great drinks, a Tapas menu and a super selection of wines.

LOCATION: The venue acts as a central hub for this rapidly expanding community of new homes and sits within a small retail park and next to a convenience store, a pub and other complimenting businesses, plus lots of free customer parking. Surrounded by thousands of new homes, and many more in the planning process, this is a new commuter area of Doncaster, with its close link proximity to the A1(M) and M18 motorways.

THE BUSINESS: Our clients started the business from empty premises six years ago and fitted the 56 square metres in a modern industrial design concept with weathered looking surfaces and raw elements. The design is purposeful and needs very little maintenance. Being one, open plan area makes the venue easy to manage too. Currently run almost entirely by staff and on limited openings (just four days a week). A more ambitious and enterprising approach to the operation would undoubtedly reap far larger rewards, but the owners feel it is time to move on and leave the reins to more focussed and dedicated owner operators.

THE PREMISES: Open plan internal trading floor with long bar and seating for at least 40 customers. Catering kitchen with a good range of commercial quality catering equipment. Ladies, gents and disability compliant WC’s. Air-conditioned throughout and CCTV. Large purpose-built outdoor terrace with branded glazed sides. Electrically operated awnings and infra-red heat lamps. Terrace accommodates 39 to 40 customers.

Business on lease. Ref: 588874
