  • Excellent Reputation

  • Strong Supplier Relationships

Located in the picturesque Ferrers Centre on a historic country estate in Leicestershire, this successful deli has been operating for over 15 years.

It benefits from a prime position within the Georgian Courtyard, attracting both local customers and tourists to its unique shops and vibrant atmosphere.

The deli is known for its extensive selection of fine foods, artisan cheeses, gourmet sausage rolls, Cornish pasties, fresh produce, craft ales, and premium suppliers. It has built a strong reputation with a loyal customer base, focusing on high-margin "grab & go" products.

Listed within the current Leicestershire Great Food Club guide, it is recognised as a top food destination in the region.

The Ferrers Centre, a well-established retail and tourist destination for 50 years, supports the business through effective marketing and regular artisan events, which draw thousands of additional visitors annually.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, established business in a stunning location, with excellent potential for future growth.

The premises are thoughtfully designed to complement the estate's historic charm, featuring laminate wood flooring, stylish blackboard displays, and well-organised produce counters.

The space includes a cheese fridge, drinks fridge, ice cream counter, and a dedicated area for baked goods. The outdoor courtyard in front of the deli provides seating for 14, offering a relaxed space for visitors to enjoy their purchases.

A third of the premises is dedicated to storage, featuring a commercial bake off oven, 2 upright freezers for stock storage

Currently operated by a husband and wife team, this family run business is perfect for a couple or small team.
The Estate hosts regular artisan themed events throughout the year in addition to popular entertainment events within the courtyard itself, ensuring a steady flow of visitors year round.

There is significant potential for growth by expanding the in-house baking operations, which would suit an artisan baker looking to produce fresh goods on-site. The existing facilities are already in place, and the estate’s high footfall provides an excellent customer base for freshly baked bread, pastries, and cakes.

Additional marketing efforts could help attract more regular customers beyond the estate’s existing promotions. Social media engagement, online ordering, and local advertising could enhance visibility and boost repeat business.

The business would ideally suit a new owner-operator couple or family team, with the option to bring in additional part-time staff during peak times.
