The business created by our client in 2012 and is only now being offered to the market due to our clients desire to concentrate on other business interests.

The premises are extremely well maintained and decorated to a meticulously high standard. Our client, ensuring the business has the highest quality fixtures and fittings, has spent approximately $600,000.00 on the venue.

In the short time the business has been open it has built up an enviable reputation within the area and further afield, for the high quality of their food and services offered, which has resulted in a ongoing loyal client base with a substantial repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations.
