Thriving Restaurant and Pub Business For Sale in Bodsham Kent
Bodsham, Kent, England
Advert Ref: 3387
Business Description
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving restaurant and pub, which was established in 1963 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 2002. The restaurant is only now being offered to the market due to our client's other business interests. The business trades 6 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £342,000 per annum with a gross profit of 65%. Our client offers high quality French food, a wide range of alcohol and also hosts private parties, etc. The pub benefits from being free of tie and hosts a magic evening once a month. We feel the turnover could be further increased by introducing themed nights, such as murder mystery nights. The business also previously used to host a French market, which could be reintroduced if desired. We have been advised that planning permission to extend the restaurant by 50 covers has lapsed but should be easily re-approved. The business has a website in place advertising the pub and services provided. The property is well-equipped to suit the trade and has been fitted to a high standard. We feel there is scope to utilise some of the property for retail use providing convenience items, sweets and ice creams to the local community and tourists. There is also the opportunity to build chalets in the grounds, subject to planning permission being granted. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
