Cafe & Sandwich Bars, North Yorkshire

COFFEE SHOP AND CAFE in Sherburn in Elmet for Sale.

Located within a busy industrial park, this cafe has been under the same ownership for over 12 years. Surrounded by transport, logistics, distribution, manufacturing and other industrial businesses operating from hundreds of units, it benefits from an exceptional catchment area. The cafe and takeaway is highly popular with local workers, delivery drivers, business owners and visitors.

The business generates excellent weekly takings of £5,500 to £6,000 from relatively short opening hours while still offering significant growth potential. Demand for corporate lunches, buffets, pre-packed sandwiches for staff canteens and ready meals for commuters is clearly evident. The large, well-equipped catering kitchen can handle high volumes of food production. Currently operating just one delivery van serving the immediate area, there is clear scope to expand coverage and increase revenue. The business also has no presence on online ordering platforms or social media.

The cafe occupies a central position within the enterprise park in council-owned premises with a very reasonable rent of £628 per calendar month, including VAT, insurance and waste removal. The premises provide indoor seating for 10 customers, ample outdoor seating and unlimited parking. Internally, the cafe and kitchen extend to 67 square metres and include a spacious fully fitted commercial kitchen, high-capacity stainless-steel extraction system, tanked walls, suspended ceilings with LED lighting, hygiene flooring, staff changing room with lockers and WC, dry and chilled storage, and dedicated cleaning supplies storage. The customer counter is well equipped with a food display chiller, pie warmer, refrigerated sandwich preparation station, espresso machine and grinder, plus self-service chilled drinks and ice-cream chillers.
