Rightmove states that the current owners have continually invested in the shop by purchasing new equipment along with fixtures and fittings, meaning new owners will not need to splash out for some time.

The listing also states that the business has a five-star food hygiene rating as well as 5, 4.5 and 4.6 star ratings on Facebook, TripAdvisor and Google respectively.
