Business Description
Veritas Business sales are privileged to offer to the market this respected Restaurant & Coffee Shop which is located in the market town of Retford. The owners are now reluctantly offering the business for sale due to having to focus on other business commitments. The premises was previously occupied by Clair's Accessories and was transformed into what you see today after a huge investment with no expense spared extensively refurbishing and redecorating the site from top-to-bottom. Along with the renovation they have invested heavily with top of the range equipment along with the fixtures & fittings which are all bought and paid for which are included within the sale price which is a huge plus for a new owner as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. Honey & Fig is owner operated and employs the help of 4 full time and 15 part time zero hour contract members of staff and their average weekly sales are running at £7,200 per week circa £370,000 per annum. They have a fantastic reputation within the area for serving artisan coffee specialist teas, soft drinks, smoothies, milkshakes, alcoholic beverages, homemade cakes, with an extensive mouth-watering breakfast and lunch menu catering for most dietary requirements and their signature Afternoon Tea experience. All food is freshly prepared to order on site from their extensive menu.
We believe that there is further potential to increase revenue should you wish, by extending the current opening times on selected evenings especially the weekend and utilise the first floor for private parties and group bookings. They have a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and enjoy a high level of regular and repeat trade along with many new shoppers. This is a superb opportunity to purchase a turnkey business where all the hard work has been done and is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended as this is gem is not to be missed.
