The subject premises occupy a stunning location in the beautiful, ancient and affluent year-round tourist market town of Cirencester which dates back to Roman times and is conveniently situated with excellent access to major road links (A417, A419, and A429 etc.) in the delightful and ever-popular Gloucestershire Cotswolds.

This long established and highly regarded discerning food lover's paradise currently primarily offers a full and varied evening menu of classic and contemporary, a la carte international cuisine, house specials, starters and accompaniments, together with an enticing range of indulgent homemade desserts, with an excellent choice of vegetarian options always available.

All food is prepared freshly to order in its fully fitted and extensively equipped five-star hygiene rated commercial catering kitchen employing the finest and freshest, locally sourced and authentic imported produce, and served in the welcoming and relaxing ambience of elegantly furnished ground and first-floor fine dining areas which combine to accommodate in excess of 75 covers in style and comfort and feature all the superbly fitted traditional free-of-tie licensed wine bar facilities associated with an establishment of this kind.

The restaurant also offers popular takeaway and efficient local delivery options, with online ordering available through the "Just Eat" and "Deliveroo" platforms, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic and ambitious new owner with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to further development of its outside catering 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 more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, both through its own 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 in the course of some twelve highly successful years' trading in the hands of the current proprietor.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to someone simply seeking that wonderful combination of adaptable premises in which to embark upon any number of other potentially lucrative culinary ventures, coupled with comfortable and adaptable living accommodation in a commercially highly desirable location which promises real quality of life.

The business is currently run efficiently on a day-to-day basis by our client, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of six full-time and two part-time staff, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.
