Restaurant for sale

Cafe & Sandwich Bars PE28, Fenstanton, Cambridgeshire

Cafe, outside catering and hog roasts in Cambridge for Sale.

Ernest Wilson is pleased to offer for sale this immaculately presented, fully licensed coffee shop and restaurant with established outside catering and events operations. Founded by our client over 15 years ago, the business relocated to its current premises in 2022 and has since continued to thrive. It enjoys an excellent reputation within the local community, supported by a loyal customer base, strong and consistent turnover, and impressive profitability - combined turnover approximately £634,000 net of VAT to March 2026, with adjusted net profits in the region of £130,000.

The business is currently run by the owner alongside a multi-skilled and experienced team. In recent years, the number of weddings and large events has been intentionally reduced, presenting an exciting opportunity for motivated new owners to reinvigorate this lucrative side of the operation and further enhance profits. Trading is limited to relatively straightforward daytime hours across five days, with no evening openings. This provides significant potential to introduce evening service and maximise revenue through fuller use of the alcohol licence.

The premises are owned by our client, who will consider either leasing the property or selling the business alongside the freehold.

Occupying a prime position within an affluent village on the outskirts of Cambridge, the property offers an attractive and highly desirable trading location. The building, a former bakehouse, fronts the main village thoroughfare and sits on a generous plot. The ground floor briefly comprises a reception bar and servery, a welcoming coffee shop / restaurant seating 20 to 22 customers comfortably, and customer WC facilities. The first floor provides additional dining for a further 24 to 26 covers, a private dining room for 12 guests, office space (decorated in the same scheme and easily convertible into a second private dining room), additional customer WCs, and baby changing facilities.

To the rear is a large storeroom leading to a spacious, fully equipped commercial kitchen fitted with high-quality catering equipment and extraction. Further facilities include a separate baking room, walk-in cold store, and walk-in freezer.

Externally, there is an enclosed rear yard with parking for up to six vehicles, space for the event trailer, a Portakabin currently used for office and storage purposes, and an additional storeroom housing extensive outside catering and events equipment. To the side of the property is an established outdoor seating area for approximately 24 customers, supported by an additional WC facility. The premises further benefit from a CCTV system and intruder alarm.
