When looking for a hospitality investment, the best opportunities are often hiding in plain sight. At Agilis Advisory, we present a business that perfectly balances rock-solid current income with an obvious, untapped growth path.
This is a highly-regarded, licensed Italian restaurant and pizzeria situated in one of the most affluent and desirable commuter pockets of the South West London/Surrey border.
Why This Location Wins
While we are keeping the exact location confidential, the area is a goldmine for a food and beverage operator:
-
High-Value Resident Catchment: The local population is predominantly high-earning professionals and young families who value “authentic” over “chain.”
-
Corporate & Leisure Synergy: The business is perfectly positioned near major Surrey-based corporate headquarters and world-class leisure attractions (including historic palaces and major theme parks). This ensures a steady flow of both local residents and visitors to the area.
-
Commuter Hub Vitality: Located near one of the busiest rail links into Central London, the footfall is consistent, and the “treat-yourself” culture of the local commuters remains resilient.
The Financial Story: 25 Hours of Trade, Massive Returns
Currently, the restaurant is a powerhouse in the evenings, operating only 5 PM to 10 PM. Despite these limited hours, the performance is exceptional:
-
Turnover: Circa £390,000 per annum (Average £7,500/week).
-
Rent-to-Turnover Ratio: A remarkably low 5.6%. In an industry where rent often eats 15-20% of revenue, this low overhead is a significant safety net for a new owner.
-
Profitability: Estimated net profit of £45,000 – £50,000 pa on current evening-only hours.
The “Unlockable” Value
The current owners have built a thriving evening trade, but they have left the “Daylight Opportunity” entirely on the table. The premises license allows for trading from 7:30 AM. By introducing a daytime café, artisan coffee, or a “grab-and-go” lunch pizza service, a new owner could realistically target a turnover of £500,000+.
A Ready-to-Run Investment
This is a 100% turnkey operation. The sale includes:
-
Full Professional Fit-out: Including a high-spec pizza oven and a complete commercial basement kitchen.
-
Alcohol License: Fully in place for both on-site dining and potential “delivery-with-drinks” expansion.
-
Long-Term Security: 6 years remaining on a protected lease (Inside LTA 1954).
Is This Your Next Venture?
This business is ideal for an owner-operator looking for a lifestyle-friendly schedule with high profit, or an investor looking to scale a proven location into a full-day destination.
-
Asking Price: £139,995
-
ROI: Circa 30% (3-4 year payback period)
This is a confidential sale. To protect the staff and the ongoing success of the business, no direct approaches are permitted.
