The National Trust is excited to invite expressions of interest from established businesses to take on the management and operation of the newly built café at Sandilands on an initial 5-year lease, with the passion to provide a food and beverage concept that compliments the National Trust experience.

The core concept must:

Operate with opening hours reflecting the requirement of the community and in line with site opening times (opening hours to be negotiated).

Provide visitors with a professional and friendly service, serving items such as, but not necessarily limited to:

Barista coffee and other hot beverages

Chilled drinks

Hot/cold snacks and light meals

Cakes/bakes

Ice cream

Support a seasonal events programme that engages visitors and the wider community, and that may require extending the offer across the evening. We want the offer to be suitable for a broad range of visitors, including families, and as the area is popular with dog walkers we would also like consideration to be given to how we cater for customers with dogs.

Provide confidence in the management and commercial acumen of the partner to uphold the terms of the lease and represent the National Trust.

Rental offers are sought based on one of the following:
1) a minimum base rent payable monthly in advance together with a top up rent calculated as a percentage of turnover, payable quarterly in arrears.
2) A rent based solely on turnover, payable quarterly in arrears.
3) A fixed rent payable monthly in advance
