The accompanying images showcase a well-equipped and functional space, ready for immediate operation.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Size & Layout: At around 650 sq ft, there's plenty of space. The images reveal a practical layout featuring a dedicated kitchen area, ample storage solutions, and a separate office/staff room.

This means significantly lower setup costs and less time to get your business up and running.

The area has a large Asian community (particularly Indian), with a significant White British population as well. The age demographic is relatively young, with a large proportion of residents aged between 20 and 39.
