The Business
Our clients have owned and operated Bramleys for the past 13 years and during this time have built up a popular evening and night time venue which is well known in the area for its regular live music. The business forms part of Canterbury's night life circuit and is well positioned to feed from other surrounding licensed businesses.
We are of the opinion that a new operator could operate this business on a hands on basis or under a managed style alike. A new owner could well continue the business in its current format, which has grown significantly year on year for the past three years. Furthermore, a new operator could well install kitchen units to offer a small food providing (STPP), or extend the opening hours.
