Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this respected Bar & Restaurant which is located in Bodmin. The business has been established for over 17 years and has been in the careful hands of our clients since 2019 and is now being offered for sale so that they can concentrate on other business interests.
Since ownership they have undertaken complete refurbishment of the Bar & Restaurant and continually invested in new equipment along with fixtures & fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the sale price which is a huge plus for any new purchaser as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. The Hive is owner operated and employs the help of 7 part time members of staff and has an annual turnover of circa £250,000. They serve a fine range of craft beers, cocktails, local coffee as well as amazing pizzas, meat balls, cheese boards and nachos. The kitchen is fully fitted with all the latest equipment and would easily cater for any culinary changes by new owners. The extensive outside seating area is very popular during the very busy holiday season.
We believe that there is potential to increase revenue by extending the opening times and days and expanding on the current food offering. The business already enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade along with many visiting tourists. This is a superb opportunity to purchase an established business which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
