The food is of a very good standard and is reasonably priced for popular appeal. the premises are attractive with a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere and are convenient for passers by and local businesses benefiting from a loyal customer base of regular clients. Tradesmen and fishermen use the business for breakfast, many on a daily basis. Shoppers, shop workers and visitors to the town keep the business busy throughout the day. A take away service is popular with the many shop workers and drivers who will often use the business several times each day. there is genuine scope to increase turnover through the introduction of evening opening. This is a business with 50 years of history and is part of the fabric of a charming seaside town. Well appointed and well equipped the cafe would be ideal for a single owner or partners and has scope for increased opening hours and further revenue. key strengths: the business currently operates a counter/cafeteria style operation, which helps to increase the turnaround of tables and keeps staff costs down.

Between the high street and the beach and with ample parking in the area the business is busy from opening time at about 6.30 am until it closes mid afternoon.

Numerous clients will actually use the business regularly during the week.

There is a very friendly atmosphere which is of course attractive to many clients. Service is no frills, fast and efficient. growth and expansion: extending the opening hours past mid afternoon is something that should be considered.
