Restaurants, Derbyshire

RESTAURANT in Chesterfield for Sale.

Nestled within one of Chesterfield’s most historic buildings, the business offers a distinctive, well-regarded restaurant with real character. Parts of the property are believed to date back to the 15th century, with major works in the 18th. Over the years the building has housed various trades before becoming a restaurant. Located just on the edge of Chesterfield town centre, the venue benefits from both local footfall and destination diners drawn by its proximity to the Peak District - helped further by being opposite a major public car park. Weekly turnover £1,800 to £2,200. The restaurant offers relaxed, refined dining, pairing an informal atmosphere with a menu focused on seasonal, locally sourced produce and high-quality cooking. Currently opening Thursday to Saturday evenings, reviews consistently highlight its warm, homely feel and standout dishes such as fillet steak with red wine jus and smoked cod loin, with influences from British, French and modern European cuisine. For a new owner, the appeal lies in the heritage setting, strong reputation and loyal customer base, alongside clear scope for growth - whether by extending opening hours, introducing lunch or weekend brunch, or hosting private events. The business previously traded more days per week, but hours were reduced as the current owners planned for retirement. This provides an excellent opportunity for a motivated operator to increase turnover.
