The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among other complementary independent operators in the busy heart of the vibrant and historic market town of Sandbach, which lies with excellent access to major road and motorway links (A50, A54, A534 and M6 junction 17 etc.) in the affluent Cheshire commuter belt.

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

This very well established and currently “TripAdvisor” number THREE rated (previously number ONE rated!) discerning food lover’s paradise currently primarily offers full and varied breakfast, brunch, express lunchtime bistro and full a la carte evening menus of classic and contemporary Italian and Mediterranean cuisine.

The menu includes an excellent choice of pasta dishes, antipasti, pizzas, meat and seafood options, hot and cold snacks, sandwiches, panini, regularly changing “blackboard specials” and indulgent homemade patisserie and desserts, with an excellent choice of beverages including “Barista” coffees and organic wines also available.

All food is prepared freshly to order in its extensively equipped commercial catering facilities employing the finest and freshest, locally sourced and authentic imported produce, including premium quality artisan breads, and served in the very pleasant surroundings of a charming, welcoming and tastefully furnished in-house dining area which may accommodate up to fifty covers in style and comfort, with additional external covers also available on a delightful patio terrace.

“Raffaele” also boasts all the extremely well fitted traditional free-of-tie licensed wine bar facilities associated with an establishment of this kind and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible provision of local delivery and outside catering services and to operating considerably extended hours in order to fully exploit year-round local and passing trade demand.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, both through its own informative dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form in 2014 by the two current “hands on” directors, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of six full-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.

These charming and extremely well fitted leasehold character parade premises provide outstanding and “TripAdvisor” Certificate of Excellence award-winning internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises an inviting public entrance with glazed folding doors presenting an inviting, open-fronted continental aspect in good weather into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious customer service and dining area with polished timber flooring throughout for easy cleaning, feature overhead spotlighting, large wall-mounted menu/specials boards, a large, glazed and refrigerated patisserie display unit and stylish furnishings for approximately 50 internal dining covers.

The main public area also features a fully fitted free-of-tie licensed servery with full range of bottle and glass display and storage shelving, extensive wine racking, refrigerated drinks display units, modern coffee machine with coffee grinder, electronic till/food ordering point and easy access through to the main, fully fitted and extensively equipped commercial kitchen with extraction system, which we understand has recently undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment undertaken at great expense.

The main kitchen area houses ample stainless-steel work surfaces, storage units, a fully equipped preparation/washing-up kitchen area and a full range of modern and 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 internal business accommodation consists of a good-sized general dry goods/bottle store, together with all the usual separate male and female washroom/WC facilities for customers, which we understand have also recently undergone a full programme of refurbishment.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of gas central heating, in addition to the added safety and security benefits of CCTV monitoring and a full fire alarm system.
