The subject premises occupy an outstanding and much sought-after trading position among other independent operators in the busy heart of the vibrant and historic year-round tourist market town of Bakewell, which lies with excellent access to major road links (A6, A619, A6020 and A623 etc.) and approximately 13 miles from the city of Sheffield, in the delightful and ever-popular Peak District region of Derbyshire.

We are delighted to present this marvellous opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of uncommon quality and real further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This long established and highly regarded eatery currently primarily offers a full and varied daytime- only menu of classic full English and continental breakfasts, light and full bistro lunches, regularly changing “blackboard specials”, hot and cold snacks, sandwiches, homemade cakes, indulgent afternoon cream teas and beverages, including loose leaf teas, speciality coffees and milkshakes.

All food is prepared freshly to order in its extensively equipped commercial catering kitchen employing the finest and freshest, locally-sourced produce and served in the very pleasant surroundings of three charming, welcoming and attractively furnished interconnecting tearoom and coffee lounge areas which combine to accommodate up to sixty covers in style and comfort.

The business is also particularly renowned for its excellent choice of gluten-free options (including gluten-free Bakewell Tart!) and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible introduction of local delivery and outside catering services and to operating hugely extended hours in order to fully exploit year-round local and passing trade demand.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and ordering and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it is achieving in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid only of a small, experienced and motivated team of two full-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Accessed by means of an inviting and part-glazed, ground-floor public entrance and staircase directly off Water Lane, these charming and extremely well fitted, stone-built leasehold character premises provide outstanding internal business accommodation which, to the FIRST FLOOR, briefly comprises three welcoming and attractively appointed, interconnecting tearoom and coffee lounge areas with well maintained fitted carpets, feature original fireplaces, wall-mounted menu/specials boards and stylish loose furnishings for approximately 60 internal covers.

The main public area, in turn, affords easy access through to a large, fully fitted and extensively equipped commercial kitchen with extraction system, industrial non-slip flooring and tiled and stainless-steel clad walls for easy cleaning.

The kitchen houses ample stainless-steel work surfaces, storage units, a fully equipped preparation/washing-up kitchen area and a full range of well maintained, industry standard stainless-steel catering appliances, all of which we understand are to be included in the sale price and further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.

Further ancillary accommodation to the first floor consists of a good-sized general dry goods store, together with all the usual separate male and female washroom/WC facilities for customers.

To the SECOND FLOOR the premises provide further ancillary accommodation which consists of a suite of two fully furnished and equipped private and general administration office areas, together with an additional good-sized general storeroom.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of gas heating and double glazing, and we are further informed that they meet with all the required fire safety regulations.
