POPULAR WEST YORKSHIRE BAR AND MUSIC VENUE in Cleckheaton

This vibrant cocktail bar is well known and loved for its various events, including 1920s dress-up nights and popular DJ sets. Expertly made, creative and delicious cocktails. Having a late-night licence to 2am Friday and Saturday and catering for private parties and celebrations for up to 120 on the ground floor, plus 25 on an upper mezzanine level, the opportunities to further develop the business are enormous.

Prominent mid-parade, glass fronted unit with electric security roller shutters. Some seating to the outside front is permitted. Entry to open plan floor with a mix of booth, bar and table seating.

SOLD - Rawdon Moustache, MICRO BAR AND CHARCUTERIE, Rawdon, Leeds

MICRO BAR AND CHARCUTERIE in Leeds.

Easy to manage bar in an affluent and busy North Leeds suburb. The bar was only completed in 2020 at substantial expense and despite two subsequent lockdowns due to the pandemic, it has established itself as a popular and very friendly meeting and drinking venue and continues to build a strong following.  The bar needs nothing in additional capital spending on it and is priced to sell quickly due to the owners now believing they are not entirely suited to working evenings within the licensed trade. There is scope to increase hours during the day, as the current owners do not do this due to other work commitments. The bar has a small galley style kitchen for the preparation of cheese and charcuterie platters mainly to accompany drink sales. The split is 70% beverage to 30% food. There are 10 different beer product lines offered, with a Quiz night every Thursday and Acoustic live acts every Saturday.

The restaurant is licensed and is approximately 250 square metres (2,690 square feet) over ground and first floor. Our clients have successfully developed a high quality dining experience at this venue for the last six years, and despite challenging times during the pandemic, have traded at a consistent level. It is only due to relocating out of the area that the owners wish to sell. Given how reasonable the rent and business asking price is, plus the outstanding location, this will undoubtedly prove to be a tremendous opportunity for ambitious new owners. Business on lease.

SOLD - The Little Monk Restaurant & Bar, Horsforth, Leeds

RESTAURANT AND BAR in Leeds

An outstanding and highly sought after North Leeds town centre restaurant and bar premises. The venue was formally a well-known chain restaurant and was acquired by our clients two years ago.  The street on which this bar and restaurant is located is a very well-known drinking and dining circuit, with a colossal amount of footfall throughout the day and evening. Filled with a huge choice of cuisine and unique, vibrant bars, this bustling high street location is always highly sought after and licensed premises rarely come available. 

Highly prominent building with ground floor bar / restaurant with open feature cookline, bar with nine draft lines, beer cooler room and spaciously arranged seating to accommodate 60 covers. Additional first floor dining area accommodating 20 plus covers. The premises extends to approximately 393 square metres (4,230 square feet) over two floors, plus basement.  Outstanding back of house areas include bespoke built walk-in fridge and freezer, wait-station with Espresso machine, separate pot-wash room, chemical and mop cupboards with stainless sluice, bottle / spirits store, managers office and staff changing room. Beautifully appointed ladies and gents toilets. Ground floor disabled persons WC with baby changing facility. Trap door and steps leading to a substantial basement housing the CO2 and syrup lines and plenty of additional storage.  The spacious, open plan kitchen is superbly equipped with very high quality commercial catering equipment and a high capacity hooded extraction system.  The premises has a built-in air-conditioning and heating system, CCTV throughout. There are two private parking spaces to the rear of the property, included in the lease.  

Currently a 65/35 wet led operation, highly regarded for its vast choice of crafted beers. The size of the kitchen in truth is under-utilised, and in our opinion would be entirely suitable to again provide a larger food offering and dining capacity. Alternatively, the current bar could be moved over to the wider open kitchen, allowing for more space for tables and the venue develop into a totally wet-led operation. The potential and options here are vast. The business is currently run on modest openings and represents huge and exciting opportunities for ambitious new owners. EPC Band B. Business on lease.

SOLD - 35 Main Street - IDYLLIC LIFESTYLE BISTRO CAFE AND LETTING ROOMS in Haverfordwest

IDYLLIC LIFESTYLE BISTRO CAFE AND LETTING ROOMS in Haverfordwest.

Nestled just off the stunning Pembrokeshire Coastal path, in the heart of the picturesque village of Solva, this successful and profitable business is perfect for those wishing to operate a lifestyle business which affords them a high quality of life, within an idyllic National Park setting.

LOCATION:  Solva is a tourist hotspot renowned for its beautiful sandy cove on the north-western coast of Pembrokeshire National Park, just 3 miles south-east of the Cathedral City of St. David’s, and 12 miles of Haverfordwest. The premises sits proudly above the river Solva as it enters the harbour, and directly fronts the sandy bay and main village car park. The location is truly enviable.

THE BUSINESS:  Permitted use: Licensed Bar, Restaurant and Bed and Breakfast. Under previous ownership the business was a simple cafe operation, but our clients identified a gap in the village to give visitors and locals an elegant and outstanding dining venue choice, providing a high standard of food and great service. Additionally, five en-suite letting rooms provided Bed and Breakfast accommodation for visiting tourists. The restaurant accommodates 45 diners inside, plus a further 80 on the paved outside terrace.

THE PREMISES:  Ground Floor - 45 cover restaurant with service bar and lounge area. Kitchen with a comprehensive range of commercial quality catering equipment. Ample food prep, wash-up and dry stores areas. Customer toilet.
First Floor - Room 1 - king bed, en-suite shower room and balcony with harbour view.  Room 2 - double with en-suite shower room.  Room 3 - double room with balcony and harbour view. Shower room with double shower. Large fitted kitchen, dining and living area.
Second Floor - Landing, leading to one double room and one single room. Bathroom with separate shower and bath. For ease of operation (and due to how busy the restaurant operation is), our clients decided to let the rooms to residents on a more long term basis for the time-being, guaranteeing a steadier annual rental income. New owners have the option to revert back to the bed and breakfast option should they so wish. Previous bed and breakfast rates averaged £45 for the single room, up to £95 per night for Room 1. Alternatively, new owners may wish to take back a portion of the accommodation to use as their own personal flat.

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.

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.

SOLD - George Wright Boutique Hotel, Bar & Restaurant, Rotherham

BOUTIQUE HOTEL, BAR AND RESTAURANT in Rotherham

A stunning and unique hospitality venue, with seven superior en-suite rooms, including a bridal suite with super king size bed, a restaurant and bar doubling up as a private function room, and three beautiful and individual outdoor courtyards.  The hotel was extensively reconstructed in 2020, from the remains of a semi-derelict but very historic Grade Two listed building.  No expense was spared in the concept planning and construction of this very unique, boutique, luxury hotel and high class restaurant.

LOCATION:  Set in the very heart of Rotherham’s civic district, in an area known locally as The Crofts, between the Minster and the Town Hall, the location is exceptional.

THE BUSINESS:  On finishing the construction project, the owner leased the property to tenants and a high end restaurant and bar was established, enhancing the wedding venue business and hotel hospitality business.  Currently, due to unforeseen circumstances, the business has been closed and now stands vacant, in readiness for new, enterprising and ambitious new operators.  The property is still predominantly fully furnished and equipped, ready to restart operations and fulfil the demand for forward bookings, which continue to be strong.  

THE OFFER:  Our client is the owner and seeks offers from experienced hospitality or leisure professionals to take on a new lease on the property.  Offers are sought for an ingoing leasehold premium for the existing fixtures, fittings and equipment in situ, and a new lease (length to be negotiated) .  Alternatively, our client would consider selling the freehold interest in the property.  The property is in outstanding condition and our client is eager to have it leased to capable operators who can reinstate the business without delay.  We would like the website to do the talking, as any written description here, would simply not do justice to the quality and elegance of this phenomenal boutique hotel and restaurant property.  George Wright Boutique Hotel | Rotherham (www.gwboutique.net)

SOLD - Tipsy Cow Micro Bar, Barnsley

HUGELY POPULAR AND HIGHLY REGARDED MICRO BAR in Barnsley.

Located on the more attractive fringe of Barnsley town centre and surrounded by modern apartments, a hotel, and situated within close proximity to the civic centre, a college and a theatre.  The bar is chic and ultra-modern looking, with all glass frontage to two floors and having been totally refurbished in April 2018. An easy-to-run, entirely wet-led operation which is hugely popular with a wide demographic. The bar benefits from a large amount of dedicated, external,  pavement seating (approx. 40 person), beneath a purpose built, glass covered pergola. Following a listing in 2021, the bar has featured again as one of “Barnsley’s Hot Spots” in the 2023 50th Edition of the Good Beer Guide, published by CAMRA. The business is run on a fairly low-key basis to suit the owners and there is huge potential to extend the opening times and take fuller advantage of the permitted licensed hours. The bar is easily operated by a very small team and the business would be perfect for a couple of partners, supported by casual staff during the busier times. The premises has low overheads, benefitting from small business rates relief and very fair and reasonable rent. Internally, the premises has made very clever use of the space, with an industrial quality open-plan mezzanine over the ground floor bar, accommodating 25+ customers, plus a gents WC.  The ground floor bar area has seating for at least 12 customers. A chilled cellar room behind the bar serves the six keg taps and four cask ale pumps. There is a ladies WC on the ground floor, disabilities compliant. Business on lease. Ref: 588636

SOLD - Chophaus Bar & Restaurant, Roundhay, Leeds

RESTAURANT AND BAR in Roundhay, Leeds 

Purpose built, highly prominent, ultra-modern building, standing in its own grounds with excellent public parking. Situated at the head of this highly affluent and desirable north Leeds suburb, with a bustling restaurant and bar circuit and leisure and entertainment scene.

Over 2,500 square feet (238 square metres) of stunningly well-appointed restaurant space. The premises was furbished and fitted to the highest standard possible, on a no-expense spared budget. Exceptional attention to detail and the installation of state-of-the-art equipment makes this one of the most elite, elegant and ultra-chic restaurant premises in the north of England. Vast internal dining areas capable of accommodating around 150 customers over two floors, and hugely attractive open air terraces with seating. The venue was popularly booked for bespoke private dining and events.

THE OPPORTUNITY:  This restaurant and bar was enjoying average sales in excess of £40,000 per week, prior to the pandemic upheavals and disruptions. Although currently closed due to, admittedly, the owners lack of experience in operating restaurants, as well as effective operational / management issues, there is no reason why an experienced restaurant and / or wet-led bar operator could not take the reins, staff it properly and gear it up to again achieve at least those levels of turnover very quickly. Moving into the spring and summer months, this venue will prove to be one of the busiest in Leeds. Business on lease. Ref: 588821
