Business Description
Veritas Business sales are privileged to offer to the market this well respected Coffee House & Café which is located in the highly desirable town of Stratford Upon Avon. The business has been trading for many years and has been in the careful hands of the current owner since July 2022. They are now offering the business for sale due to unforeseen health reasons.
Since ownership they have refurbished, redecorated and invested in new equipment along fixtures and fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the sale price, which is a huge plus for a new owner as additional funds will not need to spent for some time. Midsummer Garden is overseen by the owner with the help of 2 full time and 3 part time members of staff and has an average weekly turnover of circa £9,000. They serve a fine selection of English cooked breakfasts, breakfast baps, eggs benedict, freshly cut sandwiches, baguettes, panini’s, salads, soups, pasties, pies, homemade quiches, cakes, cream teas, cold drinks, specialist coffees and alcoholic beverages. All fayre is freshly prepared on site to order, using only the freshest locally sourced produce.
We believe that there is further potential to increase revenue should you wish, by having a more hands on owner operator, expanding into outside catering and extending upon the current opening times. The cafe 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 that still has further potential which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
