Turnkey licensed business with strong takings and growth potential.
Prominent double-fronted town-centre trading position
A long-established, licensed restaurant occupying a double-fronted unit in Harrogate town centre, offered as a leasehold business with low rent. The trading position is strong: an 85-cover dining room, bar, and a well-equipped commercial kitchen with good extraction, pot wash area and a walk-in cold room support current service levels. The business benefits from a Five-Star food hygiene rating, c.1,600 TripAdvisor reviews averaging 4.5/5, and reported weekly takings around £10,000.
The operation currently trades six evenings with straightforward hours, making it an attractive acquisition for an investor seeking immediate cash flow with scope to increase turnover by extending opening times and daytime trade. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suit online bookings, delivery partnerships, and digital marketing. EPC Band B and mains gas heating serve the premises effectively.
Notable considerations: the property is leasehold, so new owners will need to review lease terms and running costs. The area records very high crime levels—important for insurance and security planning—and the building dates from the early 20th century with stone walls likely lacking modern insulation and double glazing fitted before 2002, which may mean future fabric upgrades and energy-efficiency works. Trading is concentrated in the evenings; any growth depends on expanding hours or diversifying services.
Overall, this is a rare chance to acquire a busy, well-regarded town-centre restaurant with immediate income and clear upside for a buyer willing to manage lease details, address building maintenance over time, and pursue expanded trading hours.
