AUTHENTIC ITALIAN PIZZERIA AND COCKTAIL BAR in Halifax

Ernest Wilsons are delighted to bring to market this immaculately presented and well respected authentic Italian pizzeria and cocktail bar which occupies a truly prime trading position within the heart of this popular location and in close proximity to car parks together with ample roadside parking.  The premises are exceptionally well fit throughout with no expense spared and really must be seen to be appreciated.  The business was established in 2021, during which time it has built up a strong reputation with a loyal customer base.  Our client has a young family and other business interests meaning that this concern is operated completely by staff with a management team in place and trading in relatively limited hours over five day week - ideal for an enthusiastic owner operator to take the reins and build on the already solid foundations here.  Professional and functional website in place which facilitates online bookings.  In addition to the traditional restaurant offering, the business also provides takeaway via Deliveroo and Just Eat platforms. 

The substantial corner premises are held on a secure 15 year lease with sensible rent for such a prominent town centre trading position and comprise:  

Ground floor reception and delicatessen offering a variety of authentic Mediterranean food and drink.  Bar counter area leading to spacious 36 cover restaurant overlooking open kitchen.  The kitchen is incredibly well equipped including imported authentic pizza brick oven.

Lower ground floor provides an additional seating area for a further 24 customers in comfort together with relaxing bar lounge seating area, in front of an impressive cocktail bar.  Ladies and gents WC.  To the rear is further food preparation kitchen sporting large dough mixer and pasta machine, store rooms, staff changing rooms and WC.

Subject: RE: Candle Shop, Sunbridge Road, Bradford

I have bought and sold many businesses through Ernest Wilsons for a little over 22 years, from Gift Shops and Cafes, to Clothes Shops and Discount Stores, now also National Franchises. In this time they have earned my trust and respect, for their honesty, integrity and plain old hard work.

The Staff are professional and courteous with a wealth of experience and knowledge, many of whom I have known throughout the years of business dealings. I no longer class them as business associates, but as friends.

If you are buying or selling a business you will not find a better more comprehensive service, under one roof!
