- Well Equipped Business
This well-established, family-run café has been a cherished local fixture in Lindley, a picturesque suburb of Huddersfield. Housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century stone building on the main street, it combines traditional charm with classic windows and seasonal outdoor seating.
Renowned for its warm ambience and home-cooked meals, the café offers all-day breakfasts, brunches, sandwiches, soups, salads, and lunch options. Its prime location benefits from a car park directly opposite, providing 2 hours of free parking, attracting a diverse clientele, including locals, hospital staff, and nearby retirement home residents.
Acquired in 2011 by a former baker, the café has cultivated a loyal following, reflected in its 1,400 Facebook followers. The business is now for sale due to the owner’s desire for a lifestyle change.
With its profitability and strong reputation, this is a fantastic opportunity to continue its legacy in a high-traffic location. The owner is open to providing a transition period to ensure a smooth handover.
Opened in 2011, this well-respected café serves hearty, home-cooked meals in a traditional yet modern setting.
The premises feature a ground floor reception with 2 tables, an open serving area, and a fully equipped kitchen with dedicated stock rooms, while the upper floor offers an 8-table dining area and a customer toilet. Recent upgrades include new windows and a door installed post-lockdown.
The business is run by the owner, who manages most of the cooking, administration, and organisation, supported by 1 other full-time staff member in the kitchen and 3 part-time employees, including a delivery driver. This committed team ensures smooth day-to-day operations and high customer loyalty.
All equipment and fixtures are included in the sale.
This business has significant room for growth. Extending opening hours to include Sundays and expanding delivery services—particularly to nearby institutions such as the local hospital—could boost revenue.
Enhanced digital marketing, including targeted social media campaigns and local advertising, would attract new customers and raise the café’s profile.
Additionally, the business could diversify its menu by adding a grab-and-go option or expanding its catering services.
