The business for sale is a multifaceted cafe, bar and truckstop with B&B rooms and additional accommodation.
Situated in an idyllic Somerset location, the business has quickly become a local favourite since establishment in 2011. Offering delicious, home-cooked food in a traditional pub setting, the current restaurant and bar area can seat up to 30 covers at any one time - with room for more upstairs. Customers are also able to take advantage of their useful takeaway service - with the business offering deliveries since the COVID-19 outbreak.
The premises benefits from a three-bedroom flat, currently utilised by the present owners, and an additional room for bed and breakfast guests.
Accessed just off a main single carriageway, the business also operates as a truckstop, allowing drivers to take advantage of overnight parking for a reasonable price.
Offered on a leasehold basis, rent is payable at a rate of £19,500. 5 years remain on the current lease agreement with the option to extend for a further 5 upon request.
The business is accessed just off a main single carriageway in Aschott, Somerset, boasting a large customer car park and a truck stop for overnight parking. Customers enter straight into the café which hosts 28 covers, whilst the business's public bar accommodates 27 covers and is used as overflow for the café, private functions, and Sunday lunches. Outside seating hosts a further 30 people. There is also a fully equipped kitchen on the lower floor.
A staircase rises to the 1st floor which boasts a fully enclosed, 3-bedroom apartment to be used as either owner accommodation or to rent privately as additional income. This floor is complete with a further bedroom used for bed and breakfast guests.
Most of the relevant fixtures and fittings are incorporated into the advertised sale price, although no furniture for the flat is included. The current owner has advised they would be willing to stay on for a handover period as required.
This would be an ideal opportunity for a local entrepreneur with the passion to grow this business even further. Showing significant growth year on year, the business has seen a 20% increase in trade through 2020.
Skittle Alley is one of the longest pitch boards in Somerset and therefore provides the possibility of bringing more income to the business.
The business has already demonstrated diversity in it's approach to the COVID-19 pandemic by introducing a delivery service to its customers. Implementing this as a permanent service offering could increase their customer base even further.
