Location
The premises are well situated in a highly prominent and accessible location just off Whittington Moor on the corner of Brimington Road North and Henry Street, within an area that enjoys high levels of employment, and a huge level of passing traffic and trade.

The business is set just to the north of town the market town of Chesterfield, being the second-largest settlement in Derbyshire, after Derby, between the residential settlements of Brimington, Newbold and Old Whittington, with the commercial centres of Sheepbridge and Whittington Moor.

Description
The business is established within deceptively spacious premises of some character, which are attractively appointed and have been fitted out to an excellent specification to provide a contemporary and welcoming café.

The café provides an excellent homemade offering covering breakfasts that are locally renowned for quality, hot and cold sandwiches, with a wide range of dinners served from 11.30am including everything from pies, roast pork burgers, jacket potatoes and salads, and a variety of options for everything in between with a range of delicious homemade desserts.

The current layout provides for approximately 40-50 covers inside, with an additional 30-40 + covers in the delightful courtyard to the rear/ side which also benefits from a marquee which ensures the area can be enjoyed in all weathers. This can be separately accessed providing an excellent option to call in for a pit stop, and there is also potential to expand the courtyard seating area further to add additional seating space if required, or a separate area if desired.

The café is accessed from Brimington Road North, beautifully presented with an excellent range of bespoke seating and a counter into the main kitchen. The kitchen is of an excellent size, and is very well fitted to provide exceptional cooking and preparation space.

To the rear of the premises is an additional prep kitchen of good size, beyond which is a store room with additional prep areas which has been utilised to provide a separate takeaway provision for the business access from the outside seating area.

To the rear/ side of the premises is an excellent outdoor area, providing the opportunity to double the covers provided inside, and a space excellent for events or takeaway services. To the rear of the courtyard area is a large garage/ storage space, which has been predominantly utilised for storage, but provided excellent potential for development of the business, or to develop a new area of the business to run alongside, or even the potential to sub-let (subject to Landlord’s permission).

Over the years the café has gained an enviable reputation – currently with a 4.7-star rating on google, and an 88% recommendation rating on Facebook - with an ever expanding and loyal customer base as well as many new customers.

There is also an ideal opportunity to expand the current offering to include an evening menu, either on a full-time basis, or perhaps for special or themed events on a regular or semi-regular basis, and also to add on an app-based offering from Uber Eats/ Deliveroo/ Just Eat/ Chesterfield Eats if desired.

Business
The business has been run exceptionally well as a family business over the last 22 years, having been well established even before this. The business is for sale providing a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire an already successful business with excellent potential for growth as desired, and which has performed very consistently over many years.
