The Business
Our clients have operated the Travellers Rest for 22 years and have made the business a popular destination with patrons across Staffordshire and Cheshire due to its cozy interiors and warm and friendly atmosphere. Accounts show a high net turnover in the region of £1.3 million for the 2021 period with sales being 60% wet sales and 40% food. There is scope for increased turnover by letting of the owners accommodation and extending opening hours. Full accounts will be made available upon request following any viewing. Our client advises the reason for sale is due to retirement and it is of our opinion that the Travellers Rest would suit an experienced individual or a multiple operator to take on this thriving business.
