About this business

Established around ten years ago to a high standard, this prominent double-unit café-restaurant in a popular suburb roughly two miles from Swansea generates approximately £4,700 per week — around £243,500 annually — and has historically traded higher. The current owners acknowledge the business has been run with a heavy staffing structure due to family commitments, meaning a capable owner-operator family could realistically reduce wage costs considerably, as well as grow turnover from day one. With a well-fitted commercial kitchen and front house 70-plus covers, and an eye-catching fully glazed semi-circular frontage with outside seating, this is a first-class concern requiring no additional capital expenditure.

Trading figures

Annual gross turnover for 2025 was £243,500, averaging approximately £4,700 per week, with the business having traded at higher levels in previous years.
