Exciting Organic Restaurant, Wine Bar, Events with Cookery School & Retail Planning Permission

A rare opportunity to lease a beautifully restored lifestyle hospitality venue in an attractive East Midlands village setting.

Currently operating as an established organic café and wine bar following its soft launch in July 2025, the property also benefits from full planning permission granted in December 2025 for a substantial expansion including a flagship cookery school, retail shop and further commercial opportunities.

The vision for the site is already creating considerable local interest. The approved plans include:

• A sustainable cookery school
• An on-site retail store selling organic and artisan products
• Existing café and organic wine bar facilities
• A substantial outbuilding with potential for conversion into additional accommodation, studio space or a potential Airbnb, subject to any necessary permissions
• A licensed and resurfaced 1/2 acre car park
• A four-bedroom apartment included within the lease

Set within a beautiful leafy village in the East Midlands with a population of around 200 adults, the venue nevertheless draws strong custom from surrounding towns and cities. Importantly, although the setting feels rural and peaceful, the property sits just off a major A road with approximately 33,000 vehicles passing each day, providing excellent visibility and significant passing trade potential.

Customers are increasingly seeking high-quality food cooked from scratch using organic ingredients, and the business has quickly built an excellent reputation for exactly that.

The current owners are not selling the business itself, but are seeking the right couple, family or passionate operator to lease the property and continue the vision due to a change in personal circumstances following a health diagnosis.

Importantly, there is already an excellent team in place. A wonderful full-time Deputy Manager is employed at the venue, together with a part-time Chef. In addition, a number of experienced self-employed front of house staff are available to continue and have already been fully trained, offering valuable continuity for the new leaseholders.

This is an exceptional opportunity to create a destination venue combining hospitality, food education, retail and potentially additional accommodation income, all within one unique site.

Fixtures and fittings are available by separate negotiation.

Strict confidentiality is requested. The business name and precise location will only be disclosed to genuinely interested parties after initial enquiry.

Early expressions of interest are strongly recommended as opportunities of this kind are exceptionally rare.

Lots of images and photos available and will be sent after NDA signed. 

Serious buyers only. Fast mover incentive.
