    Business Description
    Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this established restaurant which is located in the vibrant harbour town of Porthleven. There has been a restaurant on this site for over 50 years and has been in the careful hands of our client for the past 2 years. The are now offering the business for sale so that they can concentrate on their other business interests.
    Since ownership they have refurbished, redecorated and continually invested in fixtures and fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the sale price which is a huge plus for any new purchaser as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. The Square is owner operated with the help of 3 full time and 12 part time members of staff depending on the time of year and has an annual turnover of circa £650,000. They offer a brasserie style menu in a warm and relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy a chilled lunch, relaxed dinner or simply coffee and cake, inside or on their partially covered terrace area looking over the harbour. Their ethos is local is best and the menu changes daily according to what is available. All their fish, shellfish, meats and vegetables are sourced from a selection of local suppliers. They also stock a variety of Cornish alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. The restaurant has been awarded a “Michelin Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide Of Great Britain & Ireland 2021. Along side the restaurant is the Square Deli & Ice Cream Emporium with their ice creams all made on the property. Coffee & homemade cakes are also available through out the day.
    We believe that there is further potential to increase trade by opening on Mondays and Tuesdays in the summer months. The business enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade along with many visiting tourists. This is a superb opportunity to purchase an established business which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
