The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position in the charming and well populated village of Bailiff Bridge, which lies on the busy main A641 to the nearby centres of Brighouse (approximately 1.5 miles) and Bradford (approximately 7 miles) in the Calderdale area of West Yorkshire.

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

This very well established and “TripAdvisor” highly rated eatery currently primarily offers a full and varied, daytime-only menu of classic coffee shop favourites.

The menu includes hearty traditional full English breakfasts, brunches, light and full bistro lunches, regularly changing “blackboard specials”, hot and cold snacks, sandwiches, panini and indulgent confectionery, with an excellent choice of beverages, including speciality teas and coffees, also available.

All food is prepared freshly to order in its extensively equipped commercial catering facilities employing the finest and freshest, locally sourced produce and served in the very pleasant surroundings of a bright, welcoming and attractively furnished in-house dining area, which may accommodate up to twenty covers in style and comfort and holds a valuable restaurant table licence for the sale of beers, wines and spirits.

“Verity’s @ The Bridge” also offers a popular takeaway service and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with truly vast scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible provision of local delivery 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 far 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 one full-time manager and three part-time weekend assistants who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Fitted to high industry specifications throughout, these well maintained leasehold terraced parade premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation, which holds a full and valuable restaurant table licence for sale of beers, wines and spirits and briefly comprises an inviting and part glazed, double-fronted public entrance directly off Bradford Road (A641) into the main, bright and welcoming customer service and dining area with diffused fluorescent lighting, laminate wooden flooring throughout for easy cleaning, prominent wall-mounted menu/specials board and stylish loose furnishings for approximately 20 internal dining covers.

The main public area also features a fully fitted food service counter with electronic till/food ordering point, chilled drinks display facilities, bottle and glass display and storage shelving, modern coffee machine with coffee grinder and easy open archway access through to the main, fully fitted and equipped commercial kitchen with extraction system and tiled walls for easy cleaning.

The kitchen houses ample work surfaces, storage units, a fully equipped preparation/washing-up kitchen area with fitted sink unit and a full range of well maintained, industry standard catering appliances including convection oven and hob, bain marie, burger griddle, deep-fat fryer and various refrigerator storage units etc., all of which we understand is to be included in the sale price and further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.

Extending to approximately 800 internal square feet in total, further ancillary accommodation consists of all the usual washroom/WC facilities for customers and staff and separate doorway access to the rear.

The property also enjoys the benefit of gas central heating and double glazing, in addition to the added safety and security benefits of full fire and intruder alarm systems.
