THE BUSINESS:  Currently run on short openings to suit the owners, An excellent lifestyle business in idyllic surroundings, with lots of scope for ambitious and enterprising new owners to take the business to another level.  There is so much more scope to develop sales turnover. The shop is closed between 12.30pm and 3.30pm which limits its ability to take more money, and a fresh focus toward stocking more stationary and greeting cards which have a high margin of profit, as well as potentially adding more tobacco products, vaping products and alcohol lines. These obvious profit making opportunities have been somewhat neglected of late, as the owners have elected to trade on much shorter opening times. This represents a tremendous opportunity for enterprising and ambitious new owners to easily raise takings.

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.

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 restaurant accommodates 45 diners inside, plus a further 80 on the paved outside terrace.

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.
