THE OPPORTUNITY AND DESCRIPTON

We are delighted to offer this well-known and thriving café business in Reigate Town Centre. The premises has been under this use for a number of years with the current business owners looking to move the café on to a new custodian who has the time available to put into the business. The current owners have made a great success of Flint House with thriving daytime trade but seek a sale to provide themselves more family time. As a result of their family commitments, they have not exploited the huge opportunity of extending into an evening venue through dining and evening events. The current owners are constantly approached to host evening events and are always forward booked for the few that they can undertake, currently into December 2023.

 

The premises comprise a good size retail/eatery extending to approx. 60 ft depth currently arranged as a 34-cover cafe with customer WC and kitchen/preparation area to the rear plus car parking space for one car and bins in the rear yard accessed from St Lawrence’s Way.
