CAFE AND DELI in Preston

Located directly in front of the market cross of this ancient market town, approximately ten miles north of Preston in Lancashire. An idyllic and attractive town which sees a good amount of footfall from tourists as well as visitors and local residents. The deli cafe is well known and highly regarded for its friendly, family run atmosphere and quality home-cooked food and boasts a 4.8 out of 5 stars on review sites and a 5-star food hygiene rating.  Currently being run just four days a week, on easy hours to suit the owner, who now wishes to retire after running the cafe very successfully for the last 13 years.
