SOLD - Double Dutch Pancake House, York

PANCAKE HOUSE / LICENSED CAFE in York

Situated in the heart of York city centre, just a five-minute stroll from the iconic York Minster, the Shambles and many other well-known tourist attractions, this prime location ensures consistent trade throughout the day and all year round. The business is a long-established and much-loved city favourite, trading successfully for many years and further benefiting from a valuable drinks licence. The business was established and has been lovingly run by a husband-and-wife team. In recent years, however, the owners have taken a more hands-off role, supported by a loyal and experienced staff team. The business achieves an impressive annual turnover and currently operates in easy hours, closing at 3pm daily and 5pm on Saturdays. This presents excellent scope to extend trading hours and fully utilise the underused drinks licence, should a new owner wish to do so. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate not only the exceptional location but also the significant potential to further increase what are already strong profits. The premises comprise a ground-floor entrance, 12 covers, a serving area, fully equipped kitchen with commercial extraction, and a drinks station. The first floor offers a beautifully presented dining area, seating a further 22 diners, plus an additional small seating area for three. Also on this floor is a prep kitchen and wash-up area with refrigeration, dishwasher and storage facilities. The second floor includes an office, various storerooms, and an owner’s bedroom, which the current owners use on an ad hoc basis. Externally, there is a charming seating area, along with customer toilet facilities. EPC Band B. Business on lease. Ref: 591398

Well at last I finally got my business, if it is not for trying, Vanessa was fantastic on our first meet to arrange the viewing. During the time period Leanne Shepherd went above & beyond when she contacted a few people on my behalf. Only having limited funds it was fantastic getting all the help that I required. I really hope that this will help others have the confidence in Ernest Wilson's on purchasing businesses

Another satisfied client and Ernest Wilson review (re sale of Bronzing Rooms - see business below)

From: Tony Chadwick

To: Kim Radley
Subject: Thanks you

Please could my wife and I thank a few members of staff at Ernest Wilson for the sale of our business.

Vanessa, for her help and great personality through the early stages of sale, booking viewings and promoting our business.

Michael, for the contract signing part. Made us feel comfortable and went through every part to make sure we understood and felt sure about what we we're going ahead with.

Kim, a huge thanks to this wonderful lady, who not only did her job but went far beyond this to help us at every post. Our sale became very difficult and complicated (through no fault of ours or Ernest Wilson), but Kim did everything in her power to help and make sure that we got the best outcome. Thank you very much

kind regards

Tony & Lisa Chadwick

Buying a business seminar 28th November 2012 - now taking bookings

The Next Seminar is on Wednesday 28th November 2012 At Ernest Wilsons & Co Limited, The Business Centre, Deanhurst Park, Gelderd Road Leeds LS27 7LG 

19 potential purchasers attended the last  successful seminar, a seminar which is capturing people’s attention, and enjoyed an excellently informative day with Ernest Wilsons and invited presenters. 

Delegates learned about all aspects of buying a business; listening to presentations and putting questions to Jeffrey Myers of Jeffrey Myers & Co Solicitors in Leeds, David Slater of Slater Ford Associates Accountants in Bingley, Wendy Hallas, Business Relationship Manager at LloydsTSB Huddersfield and David Talbot of Hiltons Stock Valuers together with the experienced business valuers present from Ernest Wilsons. 

One seminar delegate, Emma Hey from North Yorkshire said afterwards “Good value for money with very helpful handouts and all my questions were answered, definitely recommend” 

Miss C Dimelow from Barnsley said “This day has exceeded my expectations very interesting and knowledgeable speakers – thank you” 

David Singleton, the former Managing Director of Lloyds TSB Business, said, "There is no doubt about the British appetite for business ownership, but sadly this desire fades largely through fear of the unknown”. 

Certainly for the delegates attending the course, it was the fear that faded rather than the desire by discussing and understanding what was involved in buying a business. 

Francis Bacon said “knowledge is power” and certainly the delegates left feeling more empowered to consider their options in the light of the present opportunities in the business sales market, the finance available and the steps involved. 

 The presenters will again include Business and Stock Valuers, a local Solicitor, Accountant and Banker and throughout the day they will cover amongst other things:- 

• Overview of the Business Sales market in 2012
• Deciding what kind of business you should buy
• Deciding what you can afford
• How businesses are valued
• The research and decision making process, viewing techniques, making an offer
• Raising finance, how to go about this in the present environment
• The legal aspects of buying a business including buying goodwill, leasehold and freehold properties
• Tax/Vat - what key things to think about when buying a business 
• How do you value and acquire stock? 

This is a no obligation, educational and informal seminar to help people who are thinking about buying a business, have never bought one before, and want to learn how they can go about it, have their questions answered and take the next steps, if the time is right for them. 

When? Wednesday 28th November 2012, 9:15am – 5:00pm (Lunch and Refreshments provided) 

Where? Ernest Wilsons & Co Limited, The Business Centre, Deanhurst Park, Gelderd Road, Leeds LS27 7LG 

Cost? £65 plus VAT per person (£110 plus VAT couples) 

How do I apply? Contact Julie Walton on 0113 238 2900 or e-mail Julie.walton@ernest-wilson.co.uk (Places subject to availability.)
