The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position among other independent operators on the outskirts of the vibrant waterside town of Llanelli, which lies with excellent access to major road and motorway links (A476, A484, A4138 and M4 junction 48 etc.) and approximately 10 miles from the nearby city of Swansea, in the delightful and dramatic Loughor Estuary area of Carmarthenshire.

We are delighted to present this marvellous 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 long established and “TripAdvisor” highly rated, family-run eatery currently primarily offers a full and varied menu of classic coffee shop and daytime restaurant favourites for the whole family.

The menu includes hearty traditional full Welsh, American, vegetarian and lighter continental breakfasts and breakfast rolls, hot and cold snacks, sandwiches, omelettes, burgers, jacket potatoes, light and full lunches, beef, lamb and chicken roast dinners, regularly changing “blackboard specials” confectionery and ice creams, with an excellent choice of hot and cold beverages, including speciality coffees, also available.

All food is prepared freshly to order in its extensively equipped and five-star hygiene rated 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 in excess of fifty covers in style and comfort.

“Willow Café” also offers a popular takeaway service and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible expansion into the 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 impressive levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of some fourteen highly successful years’ trading in the hands of the current husband and wife proprietors, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.

Fitted to superb industry specifications throughout, thanks to a recent and extensive programme of refurbishment undertaken at great expense by the current proprietors, including new ceilings and a new gas central heating system, these charming, substantial and extremely well maintained leasehold character parade premises provide truly outstanding and “TripAdvisor” Certificate of Excellence award-winning internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises an inviting, recessed and glazed corner public entrance directly off Station Road into the main, bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious in-house and takeaway customer service area with suspended ceiling, diffused fluorescent lighting, stylish loose furnishings for in excess of 50 covers, durable industrial non-slip flooring throughout for easy cleaning and prominent wall-mounted menu/specials boards.

The main public area also features a fully fitted, timber-built food serve-over counter with large glazed counter-top food display unit, a large, glass-fronted and refrigerated double soft drinks display unit, modern coffee machine, electronic till/food ordering point and easy open access through to the main, fully fitted and extensively equipped commercial kitchen with extraction system, industrial non-slip flooring and stainless-steel-clad walls for easy cleaning.

The main kitchen houses ample stainless-steel work surfaces, storage units, a fully equipped preparation/washing-up kitchen area with 2 x commercial sink units and a full range of high quality, industry standard stainless-steel catering appliances including unique egg fryer with 3-burner flat grill, 2 x double electric deep fat fryers, 1 x 6-pot bain marie, 1 x 2-pot bain marie, automatic potato peeler and numerous toasters and commercial microwave, refrigerator and freezer 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.
