Business Summary

Bel Air Restaurant for sale - 130 Covers - Established 1950’s
Ref.AC338
Location Rickmansworth Rd, Northwood, Middlesex HA6 2QW
Asking Price £ 50,000

Originally on the site at the turn of the century the premises originally traded as tea rooms to the local community. In the 1950’s the restaurant became famous across North London and the Home Counties for unique Swiss cuisine.

In 2001 the present owners took over the operation and the cuisine became more European in style, which it remains today. The menu encompasses traditional and contemporary English, French and Mediterranean dishes. The capacity of around 130 covers and ambiance of the restaurant appeals to larger private and corporate functions. The restaurant has a long-running history of catering for dinner and dance evenings that are catered for with set menus at reasonable prices and appeal to a wide range of customers. The dinner and dance evenings have proved incredibly popular over the years, with attendance passed down among generations of guests.

The restaurant enjoys limited competition over a large catchment area, with zero premises of similar capacity within a large radius resulting in the restaurant being the no. 1 choice for many businesses and private parties looking for a quality local establishment for their events, from business lunches, leaving do’s to larger Christmas parties to mention a few. The restaurant has the capability to cater for a large group at the same time as seating couples and small parties. This requires the restaurant to work to capacity a lot of the time with excellent earnings potential.
