Business Description
Rated by the prestigious and influential "TripAdvisor" platform as the NO.1 establishment of its kind out of some sixty-eight similar dining outlets throughout the entire town of Sudbury, this well established discerning food lover's paradise currently primarily offers a full, varied and imaginative all-day menu of classic and contemporary British and International coffee shop and restaurant cuisine to suit a wide range of culinary tastes.
The eclectic menu includes delicious full English, continental and American-style breakfasts, breakfast rolls, breakfast bagels, brunches, light and full lunches, tapas-style "small plates", afternoon teas, regularly changing "Blackboard Specials" and a full dining experience including gourmet burgers, chilli, lamb kofte kebabs, signature fillet and "Tomahawk" steaks and seafood and vegetarian dishes together with a wide selection of starters, side orders, sauces and indulgent homemade desserts, and is particularly renowned for its traditional full roast Sunday lunches.
All food is prepared freshly to order in its modern, extensively equipped and five-star hygiene rated open "theatre-style" commercial catering kitchen employing the finest and freshest, locally sourced produce, and served in the very pleasant and air-conditioned surroundings of an attractively furnished and beautifully presented ground-floor dining area which may accommodate up to thirty-six covers in style and comfort and incorporates all the modern and superbly fitted free=of-tie licensed wine and cocktail bar facilities associated with an establishment of this kind.
"Station Road" is also a popular venue for all manner of smaller private parties and functions accommodated in a smart and versatile, air-conditioned first-floor dining area, which includes additional licensed bar and WC facilities allowing it to operate independently from the ground-floor restaurant, and would naturally furnish and enthusiastic and ambitions new owner with truly vast scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible introduction of local delivery and outside catering services, and to operating considerably extended hours in order to fully exploit year-round local and visitor demand.
The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, both through a brand-new dedicated website which is about to be launched, and to further development of its already very impressive social and national media presence in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form almost two highly successful years ago by the two current family proprietors who have laid the most solid of commercial foundations for any fortunate new owner in terms of exceptional facilities, an enviable reputation and strong customer confidence.
Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to someone simply seeking the ideal premises in which to embark upon any number of other, potentially lucrative licensed dining and hospitality ventures requiring that super combination of charming, adaptable and extensive customer service space, coupled with a commercially highly desirable location which promises real quality of life.
The business is run on a day-to-day basis by the two current founding proprietors, who we understand would be willing to offer a negotiable period of support to ensure a smooth and successful transition if required, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of ten part-time catering and font-of-house staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries to avoid disappointment.
