Small Speciality Cuisine Restaurant On A Freehold In Belfast

About this business
A small restaurant serving a speciality cuisine in suburban Belfast, opened in 2021 and staffed by 6 people. It trades from a freehold the business owns. Sales have been steady at close to £300k a year, but EBITDA has fallen by 31% over the period to £25k, as costs have risen faster than prices. A buyer with their own kitchen experience could look hard at menu pricing and supplier costs. The freehold and the modest asking price of £110k make this a manageable first restaurant for an owner-operator.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold included at an asking price of £110k
- Turnover steady at about £300k a year
- Team of 6 in a suburban setting
- Room to rebuild the margin through pricing
Reason for sale
The owner is returning to a career in catering management.
