The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among other independent operators in the busy heart of the vibrant satellite town of Bathgate, which lies with excellent access to major road and motorway links (A89, A779, A800 and M8 junction 3A etc.) and to the nearby town of Livingston (approximately 5 miles) in West Lothian.

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 well established and “TripAdvisor” highly rated eatery currently primarily offers a full and varied menu of classic foodie favourites for the whole family.

The menu ranges from hearty traditional full Scottish breakfasts and breakfast rolls, hot and cold snacks, sandwiches, paninis, burgers, salads, homemade soups, cakes and beverages, including speciality coffees, to an international range of bistro-style light and full lunches, fuller evening restaurant cuisine and regularly changing “blackboard specials”.

All food is prepared freshly to order in its fully equipped open “theatre style” commercial catering facilities employing the finest and freshest, locally-sourced produce and served in the very pleasant surroundings of a charming, welcoming and attractively furnished in-house dining area, which may accommodate up to twenty-four covers in style and comfort and holds a valuable licence for the sale and delivery of beers, wines and spirits to be consumed on or off the premises.

“The Bus Stop Café & Bar” also provides popular takeaway and local delivery services, with online ordering available, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to further development of its outside catering and delivery services and to operating significantly 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 dedicated e-commerce website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it is achieving in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid of a team of four experienced and motivated staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Fitted to suburb industry specifications throughout, these extremely well maintained leasehold terrace parade premises provide outstanding and “TripAdvisor” highly rated internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises a broad, inviting and recessed public entrance directly off South Bridge Street into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious in-house and takeaway customer service area, which we understand hold a full and valuable licence for the on and off sales and delivery of beers, wines and spirits.

The customer service area features suspended ceiling, diffused fluorescent lighting, durable industrial non-slip flooring throughout for easy cleaning, prominent wall-mounted menu/specials boards, a large, glass-fronted and refrigerated soft drinks display unit, stylish mix of loose dining and coffee lounge furnishings for approximately 24 internal covers and a substantial and fully fitted, L-shaped food serve-over counter and free-of-tie licensed servery with large, glass-fronted and refrigerated delicatessen-style food and drink display and serve-over sections, electronic till point, online ordering system and easy open access to a fully fitted and equipped open “theatre style” commercial food preparation area with extraction system.

The main food preparation area houses ample work surfaces, built-in storage units, chilled drinks display facilities, a fully equipped washing-up area and a full range of well maintained, industry standard appliances including modern coffee machine, panini grill, griddle, oven and hob and various refrigerator and microwave units etc., all of which we understand is to be included in the sale price and further details of which will be 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 washroom/WC facilities for staff and customers.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of electric eating and double glazing, in addition to the added security benefit of a full alarm system.
