Well established & reputable Licensed Coffee Shop with Outside Catering Contracts

Quick sale required due to personal circumstances meaning more involvement with family required. Assets included £20k . The remainder of the offer would be based on existing outside catering contracts, in-house and outside catering event bookings beyond August 2025 and the reputation of this site for 20 years. 

There has been a Coffee Shop in this location for well over 20 years and so it has a strong standing within Southport town centre with much loyal and repeat custom. This business is being sold as a going-concern with its existing use.

Over the past 5 years, the business has become known for its hospitality due to the friendly staff with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We won an Award for our delivered Afternoon Teas, have received a local Neighbourhood Recognition Award and have consistently been a Trip Advisor Traveller's Choice. The kitchen produces freshly-made and prepared, home-cooked food and cakes to compliment the coffees, teas and luxury hot chocolates. It is open 7 days a week and has an Alcohol Licence with draught beers and a wide range of spirits and wines. There are lots of surrounding businesses and local community groups who frequent the shop for meetings.

There are always regular bookings for exclusive hire of the venue for any private functions/family gatherings, and people can choose from a range of menus for tailored catering. The Outside Catering is very popular and there are several Contracts in place with local businesses for this service. It has a strong online following with a social media expert posting on a daily basis. There is much opportunity to expand on the offerings and take advantage of the nearby Theatre trade, based on the existing reputation which has been built up. Constant 5* Hygiene Rating - last inspected April 2024.

The Cafe comfortably seats 40 covers inside and has a designated paved front area, with seating for up to 20 covers. This is complimented by tall planters and outside lighting. The business is sold with all stock, furniture and equipment included. It is an ideal turnkey business, for anyone either wanting to be hands-on or hands-off.

Reluctant sale now due to family commitments.

Please do not contact us unless you have a genuine interest in purchasing, as we cannot waste time on people purely toe-dipping. Also, please do not simply ask for "more information about this business", as commercials will not be divulged until you have viewed the premises. 

Currently open 7 days a week - Monday to Saturday 9am - 5pm, Sunday 10am - 3pm. Instant potential to increase trade by earlier opening, evening opening (opposite to a Theatre) and offering deliveries/takeaway.

New Lease by agreement with Landlord.

Exempt from Small Business Rates.

Thanks in advance x
