The building is laid out over 3 floors and has 2 entrances, on the ground floor and first floor (directly from the bridge):
Terrace: Fenced off riverside terrace which is included in the lease, so no terrace license is required. Ground floor: kitchen, dining room, drinks preparation area, under-stairs storage. First Floor: Shop, toilet and stock room. Second floor: Office and storage. We currently offer full table service and the staffing levels are:
Winter (October to March): 1 full time staff (would not be required if run by a couple), 2 part-time kitchen porters (one weekend day each). Summer (April to September): 2 full-time staff, 4-5 part-time/weekend staff. The business has been trading since August 2006. The reason for sale is that the owners wish to focus on another business which they have established. There is still enormous potential for growth, including obtaining a terrace license to expand the outside seating area and converting the current seating area into a large conservatory, buying or leasing the basement to turn it into a larger kitchen to allow for a larger menu, takeaway and delivery service, outside catering, wholesale chocolate potential, wedding favors etc etc. If you require any further details please email amy@laplaceverte.
