SOLD - Bantam Restaurant, Helmsley, York

RESTAURANT in Helmsley 

Located in the centre of a historic market town with a colossal amount of visitor footfall throughout the year.  Just a few steps from medieval castle ruins and a bustling market square filled with unique shops, cozy pubs and award winning restaurants, of which this is one.  Highly prominent premises with a profile to both the busy main street and entrance off the market square.  Currently laid out to spaciously seat 42 diners, but capable of accommodating more.  Neutrally decorated to suit any manner of theme or cuisine, the premises is suitable for any food led or wet led style of operation.  The business is renowned for its Michelin recommended high quality food offering, locally sourced and served with a certain flair, but would be equally popular with a simpler menu offering, given the amount of tourist visitor footfall that this historic market town enjoys.  

Open plan dining room enjoying lots of natural light from very large windows to two sides.  Bar servery and wait station with pass through from the well-equipped commercial kitchen, including a hooded extraction system and double decked pizza oven.  Open-rod staircase leading to ladies and gents WC’s and a large dry goods storeroom.  To the rear of the kitchen is a pot-wash area and utility area with rear exit door.  

Well established and renowned for its cuisine over the last three years, however the chef owner has now taken the reins of a much larger operation elsewhere and feels his resources are being stretched too thin between the operations. EPC Band D. Business on lease. Ref: 590322
