An established, fully fitted Italian restaurant with A3 licence and strong historic turnover sits on a busy Sutton Coldfield high street. Open since 2005 and under the current ownership since 2009, the business produces healthy margins and comes with all fixtures, fittings and commercial equipment included — a ready-to-trade opportunity for a hands-on purchaser.
The restaurant offers 108 covers across two floors, five off-street rear parking spaces and four air-conditioning units (with heating function). Recent investment in kitchen kit and front-of-house fittings reduces short-term capital expenditure. There is clear upside by extending opening hours and building on an existing base of regular local trade.
Important lease and cost information: this is a leasehold sale with only 10 years remaining, rent of £28,000 pa (plus VAT) and a service charge around £4,000 pa (plus VAT). The short lease term is a material issue — many mortgage lenders and some finance providers may refuse lending on this asset. Interested buyers should factor leaselength, renewal costs and business rates into purchase planning.
Overall, this is a profitable, turnkey restaurant suited to an experienced operator or investor prepared to manage lease negotiations. Asking price is £175,000 plus stock at valuation (SAV £10,000).
