PANCAKE HOUSE / LICENSED CAFE in York for Sale.

Situated in the heart of York city centre, just a five-minute stroll from the iconic York Minster, the Shambles and many other well-known tourist attractions, this prime location ensures consistent trade throughout the day and all year round. The business is a long-established and much-loved city favourite, trading successfully for many years and further benefiting from a valuable drinks licence. The business was established and has been lovingly run by a husband-and-wife team. In recent years, however, the owners have taken a more hands-off role, supported by a loyal and experienced staff team. The business achieves an impressive annual turnover of approximately £400,000 and currently operates in easy hours, closing at 3pm daily and 5pm on Saturdays. This presents excellent scope to extend trading hours and fully utilise the underused drinks licence, should a new owner wish to do so. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate not only the exceptional location but also the significant potential to further increase what are already strong profits. The premises comprise a ground-floor entrance, 12 covers, a serving area, fully equipped kitchen with commercial extraction, and a drinks station. The first floor offers a beautifully presented dining area, seating a further 22 diners, plus an additional small seating area for three. Also on this floor is a prep kitchen and wash-up area with refrigeration, dishwasher and storage facilities. The second floor includes an office, various storerooms, and an owner’s bedroom, which the current owners use on an ad hoc basis. Externally, there is a charming seating area, along with customer toilet facilities.
