The subject premises occupy an ideal and very convenient trading position among other independent operators in a thriving commercial development situated on the outskirts of the small, but vibrant satellite town of Ystrad Mymach, which lies close to the junction of the A472 and main A469 to the nearby historic town of Caerphilly (approximately 5 miles) the national motorway network (M4 junction 32) and the prosperous Welsh capital city of Cardiff, in the delightful Rhymney Valley area of South Wales.

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

This long established and highly regarded business currently primarily conducts an extremely useful, popular and highly efficient outside catering operation of premium quality hot and cold sandwiches, snacks, homemade soups, jacket potatoes, pizzas, pasta dishes, southern fried chicken, confectionery and beverages.

All food is prepared daily in its spacious and extensively equipped five-star hygiene rated commercial catering facilities employing the finest and freshest, locally sourced produce for delivery on very well established rounds to numerous commercial operators throughout a wide surrounding catchment area in a fleet of scrupulously maintained and fully signwritten vehicles which are to be included in the sale price.

The business also conducts a highly complementary and client-focused outside catering service of bespoke and highly creative hot and cold buffets and sit down meals for all occasions, ranging from weddings and other private parties to corporate events, and is particularly renowned for its popular “hog roast” services.

“Ace Catering Services” provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding, repeat and referral private and corporate client base drawn from throughout the south Wales region and beyond and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible re-introduction of retail and wholesale butchery and delicatessen services, possible investment in additional staff and to operating significantly extended hours in order to exploit the full potential production and sales capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing 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 1992 by the current director, with the aid only of a small, experienced and motivated team of two full-time and two part-time employed staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some similar-sized or larger allied enterprise looking to very significantly increase its existing share of the professional outside catering solutions services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and extremely well located additional independent operator with a priceless name in the industry, a superb range of market-leading menus and an already impressive private and corporate client database, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.

Affording easy access for deliveries and despatches by means of large, full-height steel industrial roller shutter doors, these extremely substantial and superbly fitted double leasehold commercial premises provide truly outstanding and 5-star hygiene rated internal business accommodation to the GROUND FLOOR, which briefly comprises 2 x bright and spacious reception and service areas, both of which feature large, fully fitted and currently underutilised, glass-fronted and refrigerated, delicatessen-style food display and serve-over counters with chilled drinks display facilities and open preparation areas, which would afford excellent potential for the re-introduction of retail and wholesale butchery and delicatessen services.

Both reception and service areas afford easy open access to extensively equipped commercial food preparation areas with extraction systems housing extensive stainless-steel work services, large ‘walk in’ refrigerator and freezer storage units, fully equipped preparation/washing-up kitchen areas with fitted sink units and industrial dishwashing machines and a vast inventory of well maintained, industry standard stainless-steel catering appliances.

The substantial inventory of appliances includes 1 x 20-rack Electrolux air/steam combination oven, 2 x 10-rack Electrolux air/steam combination ovens, 1 x Rational oven, 1 x 6-rack combination oven, commercial pizza oven, Salamander grill, 6-burner range, 2 x meat slicers, various bains marie, soup kettles, various refrigerator storage units and a vast range of associated crockery and cutlery, all of which we understand is to be included in the sale price, along with 4 x state-of-the-art hog roast machines and a fleet of scrupulously maintained and signwritten delivery vehicles, including 1 x Mercedes Vito (2008 Reg.) 1 x Citroen Berlingo with ovens and fridges (2009 Reg.) and a dedicated Ford Transit LWB hog roast vehicle (2015 Reg.) further details of which will be available upon request to any genuine interested parties.

Further ancillary accommodation to the ground floor consists of all the usual washroom/WC facilities and staircase access to a large MEZZANINE LEVEL employed for general dry goods storage purposes, which include additional washroom/WC facilities and a fully furnished and computerised sales and general administration office with full complement of telephone lines, internet access and modern, industry-specific business management systems.
