    The Business

    The restaurant known as ‘Flavour’ is currently closed. It was not operated by our clients and therefore no historic trading information is available. Prospective purchasers will need to reach their own conclusions as to the potential trade and profitability which can be enjoyed at this outlet.

    Ideally, our clients are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, committed tenant to reopen the premises in a restaurant style of their choosing. However, our clients would also consider selling their freehold interest in the property.
