Business Description
Veritas Business sales are privileged to offer to the market this respected Tea Rooms & Café which is located in Moreton-In-Marsh. The premises has traded as a restaurant for many decades and has been in the careful hands of our clients for the past 5 years and is now being offered for sale so that they can enjoy a well deserved retirement. The property dates back to circa 1700’s, is grade II listed. Since ownership there has been significant investment in the upkeep of the premises, new equipment has been installed along with fixtures and fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the sale price which is a huge plus for a new owner as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. Rixy’s Cotswold Tearoom is owner operated and employs the help of 5 part time members of staff. For year ending 30th June 2025 they posted an annual turnover of £201,646 net of vat. They serve breakfast, traditional afternoon teas, cream teas, snacks, light meals, freshly cut sandwiches, toasties, soups, homemade cakes, specialist coffees, loose leaf teas, cold drinks and alcoholic beverages. All food is freshly prepared to order on site, using only the finest locally sourced produce.
We believe that there is further potential to increase revenue should you wish, by extending the current opening times and opening evenings as a bistro or restaurant. The business already enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and with a high level of regular and repeat trade along with many new and returning tourists. This is a superb opportunity to purchase a turnkey business with excellent potential for future growth and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
