SOLD - Secret Seaview Wedding Chapel, Cafe Bar & Gift Shop, Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby

WEDDING CHAPEL, CAFE BAR & GIFT SHOP in North Yorkshire

This is a truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a multi-faceted business which is situated in a picturesque, quaint village within the North York Moors National Park. The village attracts thousands of tourists to it’s labyrinth of streets each year and this business caters to both tourists and locals alike. The business operates primarily as a café bar open to the general public providing quality snacks, meals and beverages with a gift shop offering a range of high quality gifts and clothing with a range of many well-known brands. Being a former chapel the premises are ideal for weddings and they are licensed for civil ceremonies (with a capacity of 160) and undertake a number of weddings annually, providing a range of packages from a simple ceremony and drinks package through to an exclusive use of the entire venue for the day and night. This particular side of the business has shown rapid, recent growth which could be extended much further with some marketing given the unique and picturesque location of the premises. The wedding chapel is also used as an independent venue and is configured for use for conferences, live performances and cinema use and it is this side of the business which possibly offers the most scope by marketing itself to business and hiring of performers / promoting small live performances to tourists throughout the summer and to locals during the winter months. This is an area of business which is largely untapped and could so easily become a major part of the business. The business is currently run almost entirely by staff in in very easy hours and would certainly benefit from extended opening hours, particularly into the evenings during the busier summer months given that it currently closes between 3.30pm and 4pm yet is licensed to open until 10pm as a bar and through to midnight for customers dining at the premises. A working owner who is able to devote themselves to the business on a full time basis could really turn this from a successful business in to a potential gold mine by increasing the turnover of the business and making substantial savings. VIEWING HERE CANNOT COME RECOMMENDED HIGHLY ENOUGH AND WE WOULD SUGGEST THAT AN EARLY APPOINTMENT TO VIEW IS MADE TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT. Run from substantial premises which are available on either a freehold or leasehold basis which briefly comprise: Entrance leads through to café reception with beautifully fitted and equipped gift shop to the side. The beautifully presented café dining room seats 56 diners comfortably and is fitted to a very high standard indeed.
