The Opportunity

The Two Fat Ladies was established many years ago and provides a first class restaurant. The current owner wishes to concentrate on their other restaurant businesses and have decided to make the premises available on leasehold tenure. The premises are situated in a prime city centre location, able to capture significant daytime trade from the many office workers situated within the vicinity as well as evening trade lying close to the main licensed circuits within the city centre. In addition, there are other income drivers, including the many hotels situated within only five minutes’ walk of the business.

This is a first class opportunity for an owner occupier/chef proprietor to acquire a fully fitted contemporary restaurant in a prime location.

The Business

Historically, the business achieved sales in the region of £540,000 net of VAT, although this did fall marginally due to the current owner concentrating on other business ventures. Historic accounting information can be made available to interested parties.

Price

The premises have been placed on the market at a reduced price of offers over £195,000.
