Location
Bamburgh lies on the North Northumberland coast just off the A1, which is the main route between North East England, Edinburgh and Scotland. The town is easily accessible and is an excellent base to explore this dramatic coastline but also to travel further afield to the Cheviots and Scottish Borders.
Newcastle upon Tyne is only an hour or so away by road and therefore Bamburgh has always been a popular destination for the local residents. However, the town is seeing more and more visitors from outside the region and The Copper Kettle enjoys its fair share of this trade, being within the heart of the village and with little direct competition.
Business
This is an established and extremely popular café which has been in the same ownership since 2002 and has been placed on the market as the current owner wishes to reduce their commitments.
The existing menu is compact and comprises mainly traditional coffee shop fare with hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, pastries and light lunches. Trade is a mix of sit in and collection orders and there is scope for a new owner to develop the menu should they wish.
This is an extremely rare to the market opportunity and viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the location and further potential of the venue.
