About this business

We would guess that the very realistic Asking Price of just £59,950 is perhaps even lower then the cost to actually fit & equip this Cafe. As already indicated, regrettably after the present owners spent a considerable amount of money and time producing this very quirky Cafe and establishing the business, they found themselves simply not suited to the industry, allowing the way for new lucky owners to take full advantage and eventually take this very neglected ( trading just 4 days a week ) business to many levels above. This most characteristic Cafe & Deli can only be fully appreciated by visiting the business. Our attached photos should also enhance your interest considerably . . . and rightly so.

Trading figures

The owners of this exceptional Cafe & Deli established this business about 18 months ago following which they refurbished the premises to a very high standard. Unfortunately they discovered shortly afterwards that they were not suited to the trade and reduced trading to just 4 DAYS A WEEK. Net yearly turnover was still in the region of £80,000 or about £1,600 per week. This business must surely see present takings increase possibly 3 fold or more a week in more enthusiastic owner run hands.

Trading hours

Drastically reduced trading hours are now only 4 days a week from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm latest. Business is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, resulting in a tremendous amount of lost weekly sales. Can so easily be returned in a very short period by simply opening normal hours for this type of Catering concern.

Business premises

This is a most quirky styled Cafe & Deli with very wide eye catching frontage on bold corner of parade and conspicuous in every direction. Only by fully inspecting this business could you possibly appreciate just what's on offer, remembering that virtually all shopfitting and equipment is possibly less then 2 years old. Business has a restaurant and takeaway facility. Fully fitted and equipped preparation and kitchen facilities are located at the rear.

Trade equipment

From what Rosen's understand, this business was established by the present owners under 2 years ago during which time they have developed a most quickly styled Cafe & Deli which has certainly benefited from the extensive initial shopfitting and placement of good quality trade equipment and fixtures & fittings.

Tenure

We understand a new long secure 10 years Lease was granted in 2024 and there appears to be about 7.5 years remaining at the current rent of £21,600 per annum. We additionally understand the Lease was under the L & T Act so should be usually protected at the time of renewal in 2034 or earlier.

Accommodation

This is a Lock-Up catering premises with No Accommodation included however we further understand that residential rentals are sometimes available all around this popular sought after town of West Sussex.

Trading position

Situated in the heart of this sought after popular West Sussex town having many populated outlying towns and villages which all secure all year round trading. Good busy influx of passing trade from tourists and holiday makers. Easy traveling distances to Billinghurst and Chichester about 15 miles and Petershead about 12 miles. We are not aware of any close opposition.
