Established Cafe & Food Business For Sale, Guildford, Surrey

This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a recently refurbished, fully fitted cafe / food premises. A charming and well-established café that boasts tremendous potential for growth. The café has cultivated a loyal customer base and offers a welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal venture for someone keen to expand or develop further. With very little comparable cafe or food offering within the immediate area. The existing cafe has become a well-known and well used meeting place for local residents as well as customers visiting from further a field, there is a strong established customer base and a genuine appetite for quality food-led business. 

The current owner has invested significantly in the refurbishment and fit-out but due to a change in personal circumstances is now looking for someone to take the business forward with their own concept, whether that be a premium cafe, breakfast and lunch operation, sandwich concept, deli or another food business, benefitting from a loyal customer base and limited direct comparible competiion in the surrounding area. 

One of the standout features of this opportunity is the substantial external rear yard, offering a huge amount of additional space and flexibility that you simply don't get with many cafe premises. 

The yard is accessed through large double rear gates, making it particularly useful for deliveries, loading and unloading, storage and day-to-day business operations.

The rear area also includes two separate outbuildings, providing further potential for storage, preparation, workspace or other business uses, subject to any necessary permissions. 

There is also a dedicated office area, giving the premises additional practical space for administration, stock management or other business requirements.

The combination of the main premises , large external yard, two outbuildings, office space and rear vehicle/loading access makes this much more than a standard cafe unit and provides significant potential for a wide range of businesses.
