Dunkley's Restaurant is located in a delightful rural area, on the outskirts of the village of Whiston, in Northamptonshire. The restaurant is built around the old goods sheds of Castle Ashby Station, which was closed under the Beeching Act of 1964. The restaurant benefits from private parking for up to 70 vehicles and lies approximately 100 yards from the River Nene. The business is easily accessed being just half a mile from junction 10 of the A45, which leads west to Northampton, approximately 7 miles away and north to Wellingborough, just 6 miles away. Junction 15 of the M1 motorway lies approximately 10 miles away.
Business History
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this unique restaurant, which was established by our clients in 1984 and which is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business is built around the old goods sheds of Castle Ashby Station, which were refurbished by our client to a very high standard, along with two 1920s railway carriages to offer two 50-cover restaurant areas and bar with seating for 50, along with a coffee room which seats a further 50 persons. There is also a railway carriage, which has been converted to offer 1-bedroom living or potential letting accommodation. Along with restaurant activities, our clients offer function, conference and private party facilities and also offer regular live entertainment and discos. The business generates a turnover in the region of £364,000 per annum, which could be increased by perhaps, extending the opening hours and offer a lunchtime menu, further promoting the function and meeting facilities, and should a new owner wish, apply for a licence to host civil ceremonies. We feel this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a unique restaurant and function venue, set in a beautiful rural location and with scope for further growth. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
