Wildes Wine bar and bistro for sale in central York

Rarely does a business as attractive as Wildes come to the market so we are delighted to offer this very well known and established cafe / bistro / wine bar located at the heart of the eating and drinking centre of the city. The premises are arranged over ground and first floors and are fitted out to a very high standard designed to create a warm and friendly ambience which it clearly succeeds in doing. The business is fully licensed and is open from 10.00am to midnight every day. There are several different eating and drinking areas, including a feature fully glazed atrium area on the first floor, beyond which are located the kitchens.
Currently, the business is run very largely by staff however it is felt that the business would benefit by ownership by two full time partners thus minimising staffing costs and maximising profits.
