LEASEHOLD LIC. DAYTIME CAFE/RESTAURANT
WITH SELF CONTAINED 4 BED FLAT ABOVE

LOCATION
These well presented premises occupy a prime High Street trading location in the centre of this prosperous Sussex town being adjacent to all the major multiple stores, banks and offices. The business draws trade from over a wide catchment area.

BUSINESS
This is a well established concern which formerly traded as a Poppins Restaurant and so its a professionally well laid out and presented 56 cover concern serving a traditional grilled breakfast cafe and brunch menu along with burgers, sandwiches and paninis. Sadly the business has suffered over the past 9 months with the opening of a new Greggs bakery nearby. It now needs an enthusiastic new vendor to change the format and perhaps open later opening hours in the evenings to take advantage of the drinks licence to bring the turnover back to where it once was. Food Hygiene rated 5 stars. Alternatively it would be suitable for a complete change of menu and style of cuisine.

TURNOVER
We are informed that the business currently takes around £2,500 - £3,000 pwk.
It was taking £7,000 PWK up until August 2025 when a Greggs opened nearby.
