The venue also has 38 covers and a ‘theatre style’ kitchen, with seating for six also available on an outside patio.

The agents said: “Our client has owned the business for 13 years, having started it from scratch. They have built a strong reputation and following in the local area.

“Bishopthorpe Road is one of the most popular suburban areas in the city, but within easy walking distance of the city centre.

“In the past decade it has developed into a thriving and fashionable location, with our client been one of the first food and beverage operators to open there.”

The sales particulars continued: “The business has always shown consistent levels of turnover.

“On the year ending March 2025 accounts the business showed £663,500 and £593,909 and £533,176 in 2024 and 2023 respectively.

“This is in excess of the levels of trade seen pre-Covid and has been aided by the installation of the pizza oven and a refurbishment.”

The agents added: “After 13 years our client has decided it is time to move on to pursue other opportunities and has decided to offer the leasehold of the business for sale.

“This represents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to drive trade forward and secure a good base business from which to start.”
