Hot Food Take Away, Northowram, West Yorkshire

LICENSED RESTAURANT AND TAKEAWAY in Halifax for Sale.

Ernest Wilson are delighted to present to the market an exceptional licensed restaurant and takeaway occupying a highly prominent position on a bustling main road in the sought after and affluent village in Halifax. This is a superb, high visibility site at the heart of Calderdale, benefitting from strong passing trade and an established reputation within the local community. The current owner took over the business in mid 2025 and has since carried out an extensive, no expense spared refurbishment throughout the premises. The result is an immaculately presented, contemporary dining venue that truly must be viewed to be fully appreciated. Despite trading over just six days per week - two lunchtime services and six evening sittings - the business continues to deliver strong performance, with clear scope for further growth. Weekly turnover £9,000 to £10,000. An enthusiastic new operator could readily introduce breakfast, brunch, or daytime coffee trade, tapping into additional revenue streams and significantly enhancing turnover.

The business benefits from two distinct income streams:
1.A beautifully presented, fully licensed restaurant operating across two floors, each with its own dedicated bar area.
2.An adjoining takeaway unit, equipped with its own kitchen and extraction system, enabling it to run independently from the restaurant while complementing its overall offering.

Due to the owner’s wider business commitments, the restaurant is run largely by a team of staff. This represents an excellent opportunity for a motivated hands on owner operator to reduce operating costs, increase profitability, and drive the business forward.

The premises are held on a secure lease and are arranged as follows:
Ground floor - a striking entrance leads into a stylish and spacious restaurant area, providing comfortable seating for approximately 50 covers. An immaculate cocktail bar forms an impressive focal point. The restaurant overlooks a superb open plan kitchen, professionally equipped and designed to a very high standard. The adjacent takeaway unit includes its own dedicated kitchen, extraction system, and service area, enabling it to function independently of the main restaurant. Customer facilities include well maintained ladies’ and gents’ WCs and a baby change area. A large, practical cellar offers extensive dry storage, a fully fitted beer cellar, and a walk in cold room, ensuring excellent operational efficiency.
First floor - a beautifully arranged additional dining area, complete with its own private bar, spread across two interconnecting rooms. This versatile space serves perfectly as overflow seating for the main restaurant or can be marketed as an exclusive private function suite. It already benefits from several pre booked private events. Further facilities include a staff room, additional dry storage, separate ladies’ and gents’ WC facilities, and a private office.
Externally there is a good sized customer car park, a rare and valuable asset in this location. There is also an attractive outdoor decked seating area, ideal for al fresco dining during warmer months and providing additional covers.

This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a turnkey, high quality restaurant and takeaway in a thriving village location, with strong foundations and significant scope for further expansion. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the quality of the refurbishment, the versatility of the layout, and the business potential on offer.
