Business description

a rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a well known and established italian restaurant on the north yorkshire coast. This has been a popular eating house for over seventy years with the current owners carrying on the long tradition of serving good authentic italian food to their regular customers. They have won a number of local and regional restaurant awards, with the most recent being the “best restaurant” in north yorkshire in 2008.

 

the restaurant has circa 150 covers and is open every day from 4.00pm until late. It is tastefully decorated with an italian street theme and caters for both families and couples who enjoy a wide menu of pastas, pizzas, steaks, fish, seafood, vegetarian meals with a daily specials board all at competitive prices. There is a good selection of both draught and bottle beers plus a comprehensive wine list available.

 

there is a fully functional and commercial kitchen which has a wide range of equipment and appliances. The kitchen area is continually upgraded to the highest standard and was recently awarded a five star rating for its all round hygiene by the local council. The owners have recently installed a new air conditioning system for the building and no expense has been spared on the decoration and ambiance of this successful restaurant.

 

the restaurant has an enviable town centre location in a busy seaside resort on the north yorkshire coast. It benefits all year round from a busy tourist trade and in winter from its loyal regular customers.

 

the restaurant is run by a fully managed team of three who report directly to the owners. There are a number of obvious opportunities within this business for new owners to grow both the turnover and the profits of what is already a highly successful restaurant 

 

equipment:

 

all of the fixtures, fittings and kitchen equipment necessary in the running of a 150 cover italian restaurant are included in the sale of the business. A full inventory of equipment is available to any genuinely interested parties.

 

customer service:

there is a special function room upstairs in the restaurant which caters for parties all year round, especially at christmas, with a high number of office parties and corporate events.

 

 

 

key strengths:

 

built on well established foundations and a fantastic and prominent location it is the quality of the authentic italian food and the friendly service that are the cornerstones of this business. The themed restaurant is tastefully decorated giving a warm and friendly welcome to their customers.

 

whilst turnover reaches a peak during the busy summer months, this is an all year round business with  regular repeat local customers.

   

key opportunities

 

this is an outstanding opportunity to build on the effort and investment that has been put into making this restaurant one of the best known and loved eating houses on the north yorkshire coast.
