Licensed Cafe / Bistro / Restaurant For Sale Altrincham Greater Manchester

An exciting opportunity has arisen to acquire the assets and leasehold interest of The Bee & Thistle Board Game Café, a beautifully fitted and highly distinctive hospitality venue situated in the popular and affluent town of Altrincham, Greater Manchester.

Currently trading as a board game café, the business provides a relaxed and welcoming environment where customers can enjoy refreshments alongside an extensive collection of board games. The premises have been fitted out to an exceptionally high standard, with the owners investing in excess of £100,000 in creating the venue.

A particular feature is the attractive exposed-wall interior together with the stunning handmade live-edge resin bar countertop, which creates an impressive focal point and gives the premises considerable character.

Whilst the business could continue operating in its current format, the premises would also provide an excellent opportunity for an incoming operator looking to establish a café, bistro, restaurant, licensed café/bar, brunch venue or other hospitality concept, subject to any necessary consents.

The premises benefit from an existing licence for the sale of alcohol, currently permitting alcohol sales Monday to Thursday from 12:00 until 22:00, Friday and Saturday from 12:00 until 23:00, and Sunday from 12:00 until 21:00. This gives an incoming purchaser significant scope to develop the evening food and beverage trade.

The sale includes an extensive range of quality fixtures, fittings and equipment, including a commercial fitted kitchen, coffee machine costing approximately £7,000, four wall-mounted air-conditioning units and a selection of bespoke Tinkerbot handmade gaming tables, comprising one T8 table, four T6 tables and one T4 table.

The quality of the fit-out and equipment means that an incoming purchaser could potentially commence trading with minimal further capital expenditure.

The business also proudly holds a 5-star Food Hygiene Rating, reflecting the high standards maintained by the current operators.

The premises are held on a leasehold basis and the landlord has indicated a willingness to either assign the existing lease or grant a new lease to an incoming purchaser, subject to the usual references and landlord approval.

There is considerable potential to further develop the business through increased food sales, evening trading, licensed events, private functions, parties and other hospitality-led revenue streams.

Alternatively, the premises offer an excellent ready-made platform for an experienced hospitality operator wishing to introduce their own concept without the considerable cost and disruption normally associated with fitting out a venue from scratch.

The business is offered for sale due to a change in the directors’ business direction, providing an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial turnkey hospitality asset in one of South Manchester’s most desirable locations.
