Description
The Bay Tree Café is positioned in the busy and well regarded district of St Marychurch, Torquay. St Marychurch is a popular part of town and is situated less than half a mile from the sea and less than a mile from Torquay town centre. St Marychurch is recognised as one of Torquay’s most desirable residential and commercial locations, with a fine mix of privately owned shops, attractive pedestrianised precinct and tourist attractions including the Model Village, the Cliff Railway, Babbacombe Downs and Bygones Victorian Museum. The Bay Tree Café is a long-established business. During its time it has built up a strong, regular customer base with locals supporting the café throughout the year and benefitting from the tourist boost during the holidays. The café currently opens daytimes only by choice of the owners, offering traditional, well priced, café fayre. Due to the location, there is huge potential for evening trade and with the introduction of a premises licence, a website and a social media presence the trade could be further boosted.
