Fully Equipped Catering Kitchen & Events Space – Must Sell – Gloucestershire

Nailsworth

A rare opportunity to acquire a fully equipped catering and events venue in the thriving and highly desirable market town of Nailsworth, Gloucestershire. The venue occupies the 1st and 2nd floors of a historic mill in a vibrant town full of independent businesses.

Established in 2018, the premises have been successfully operating as a cookery school and catering business, but the real strength of this opportunity lies in the versatile venue and extensive professional kitchen facilities. The space is ideally suited for a wide range of hospitality concepts, including private dining, supper clubs, catering production, pop-ups, food workshops, and events.

The venue combines characterful mill-town charm with a modern, professional kitchen environment, creating an attractive and flexible setting for both food production and guest experiences.

At the heart of the premises is a large, well-equipped commercial kitchen featuring generous preparation space and professional equipment, designed to support both small and large-scale catering operations.

Alongside the kitchen is a beautifully presented dining and event area, capable of hosting private dining experiences, tastings, corporate events, workshops, and community gatherings. The space comfortably accommodates 20–25 guests and offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with natural light and stylish décor.

For buyers seeking a ready-made concept, the existing cookery school and brand can be included. Alternatively, the premises can be purchased as a fully equipped catering venue, allowing a new owner to introduce their own hospitality concept.
