Successfully operating since 2020, the business has built a loyal customer base and offers significant potential for further expansion.
Key Business Highlights:
• Established Italian restaurant trading successfully since 2020
• Extensive menu featuring authentic pizzas, pasta, meat and fish dishes
• Major refurbishment completed within the last year costing approx. £120,000
• Approx. 50 internal covers plus potential for 10 external covers
• Average weekly turnover of around £8,000
• Fully equipped commercial kitchen and bar included in the sale
• Strong customer demand with regular enquiries for delivery services
• Opportunity to expand trading from 5 days to 7 days per week
• Lease secured with landlord open to extension
• Experienced staffing structure already in place
Approx. 95% of the menu consists of authentic Italian dishes, which has contributed significantly to the restaurant’s success and loyal customer base.
This business would make an excellent acquisition for an owner-operator, hospitality group or investor seeking a well-presented restaurant with immediate trading capability and clear opportunities for growth.
With a high-quality fit-out, established reputation and untapped delivery potential, the business is perfectly positioned for a new owner to increase revenue and build upon its existing success.
The restaurant occupies a well-configured premises arranged over 2 floors. The ground floor consists of the main dining area, fully equipped commercial kitchen, bar area, 2 customer toilets and additional storage facilities. The dining space has been thoughtfully renovated to create a welcoming and contemporary atmosphere with high interior standards and a comfortable environment for guests.
The first floor provides 2 spacious storage rooms, a staff changing area and staff toilet facilities, supporting efficient day-to-day operations. Fully equipped with an extensive inventory including multiple commercial fridges and freezers, a walk-in freezer, pizza preparation station, double pizza oven, stainless steel preparation tables, slicer, dishwasher, air conditioning system and audio equipment.
Employs 8 part-time staff members alongside one full-time chef, with the owner actively involved as both chef and manager. Lease secured until December 2029 with landlord open to extension.
At present, the restaurant trades only 5 days per week, presenting an immediate opportunity to increase turnover by extending operations to 7 days. The current average weekly revenue of approximately £8,000 demonstrates strong existing demand and provides a solid foundation for expansion.
A major untapped opportunity lies within the delivery market. The restaurant currently does not offer delivery services despite receiving regular customer enquiries regarding takeaway and home delivery options. A new owner could significantly increase sales by partnering with popular delivery platforms such as Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat and Foodhub.
Additional growth could also be achieved through increased local marketing activity, social media promotion and community engagement. The modernised premises and authentic Italian menu place the business in an excellent position to strengthen its market presence further.
