An exciting opportunity to acquire a thriving and well-established tea room in the busy town of North Hykeham, near Lincoln. Transformed by the current owner in 2017, this profitable business has become a beloved community hub, attracting a loyal customer base of locals, walkers, and cyclists.
Offering a range of homemade cakes, lunches, coffee, and afternoon teas, the tea room also caters to private events like baby showers, business meetings, and wakes. With over 11,000 Facebook followers and 2,300 Instagram followers, it enjoys a strong online presence that draws both regulars and new visitors.
Renowned for its friendly service and high-quality food, the tea room has received multiple accolades, including “Tea & Coffee Shop of the Year” from Lincolnshire Life (2018) and “Afternoon Tea Venue of the Year for Lincolnshire” from Lux Life Magazine (2019).
The current owner is seeking to sell due to other commitments and a desire to move into another sector. This is an exceptional chance to acquire a well-loved and profitable business in a prime location.
Situated in a central, high-footfall location, next to essential local services like the Co-op, pharmacy, and Post Office, the tea room benefits from consistent passing trade.
The premises include a spacious conservatory-style interior with seating for 34, and an attractive garden area, which adds an additional 42 seats, including two cosy log cabins that can seat 15 and 12 respectively. This setup allows for a charming, relaxed atmosphere, ideal for a wide variety of clientele.
Despite its success, the current owner has scaled back the opening hours to accommodate personal circumstances, leaving significant room for expansion under new ownership.
All the necessary equipment is included in the sale, providing a turnkey opportunity for a new owner to step in and continue the tea room's success.
The business is currently open 5 days a week, and there is considerable scope to increase revenue by opening on weekends to capture more passing trade.
Additionally, the introduction of delivery services within the local area could further increase customer reach.
Expanding marketing efforts beyond social media and offering more catering services for private events would also provide growth opportunities for a new owner.
