A beautifully presented, restaurant/bistro established is for sale in Stalybridge town centre. Established approximately 2.5 years ago, this is a turnkey opportunity with real character. The business holds a 5-star food hygiene rating and has benefited from a circa £40,000 professional fit-out, resulting in an inviting, well-organised operation that is easy to run with a small team. Average weekly sales are approximately £5,100, providing a solid base for a new owner to build upon.

Trading permissions allow seven-day opening from 12:00 should a buyer wish; currently the business trades Wednesday and Thursday 12:00–15:00 & 16:30–21:30, Friday and Saturday 12:00–15:00 & 16:30–22:00, and is closed Sunday to Tuesday. Delivery infrastructure is already in place: Uber Eats contributes a modest share of revenue (around 10%) and Deliveroo is set up but not currently used, offering immediate upside for off-premise growth.

A new lease will be made available for a minimum term of five years at an indicative rent of £750 per calendar month, subject to contract. The team comprises one full-time (non-owner) member of staff supported by four part-timers, providing continuity and making for a smooth handover. With its compact footprint, strong specification and streamlined processes, the site suits an owner-operator or chef-owner seeking an intimate, high-margin venue.

There is clear headroom to grow. Earlier opening for coffee and brunch, a simple evening small-plates offer, fuller activation of delivery channels, click-and-collect, retail coffee/beans and light catering for local businesses could all lift turnover and average spend. Gentle brand-building loyalty initiatives, events, tastings and seasonal specials should further enhance repeat custom and word-of-mouth. A fully developed website and online booking presence form part of the digital assets transferring with the business (details available on request to maintain confidentiality).

Asking price: £60,000 plus stock at valuation (leasehold). Detailed financial information, staffing schedules and the equipment inventory will be provided to qualified purchasers confirming ability to proceed. Please do not approach the business or its staff under any circumstances, all questions and viewings must go through Sovereign Business Transfer.
