Hot Food Take Away, Honley, West Yorkshire

RESTAURANT AND TAKEAWAY

Ernest Wilsons are pleased to present to the market this long-established and highly respected Chinese restaurant, prominently situated on a busy high street frontage within the sought-after Kirklees village of Honley. Occupying a prime corner trading position, the business enjoys excellent visibility and benefits from consistently strong levels of passing trade, supported by both local residents and visitors to the area.

The restaurant has been under the same careful ownership for over 20 years, during which time it has built an outstanding reputation for quality cuisine and service. As a result, the business has developed a loyal and repeat customer base, supported by positive word-of-mouth and regular patronage. Currently operating on a straightforward schedule of five evening openings per week, the business delivers an impressive annual turnover in excess of £360,000. Accounts to November 2024 show adjusted net profits of £73,000.

Despite its success, the business still offers significant scope for further development. There is clear potential for new owners to increase trading hours and introduce lunchtime service to further enhance revenue and overall profitability.

The premises are held on a secure lease at a sensible rent. Internally, the property is well laid out and presented. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance leading into a reception and bar lounge area, creating an inviting first impression for customers. This flows seamlessly into a spacious and well-appointed restaurant dining area, currently accommodating approximately 60 covers, with sufficient space to increase capacity if required.
To the rear is a fully equipped commercial kitchen, fitted with a good-quality extraction system and all necessary catering equipment to support the current level of trade. Separate pot wash room, dedicated storage area, and walk-in cold store.

The lower ground floor provides ladies’ and gents’ WC facilities, along with a large storage area offering further flexibility for stock or ancillary use.
