Hilton Smythe are pleased to have been given the opportunity to manage the
sale of Number One Sandwich Bar which is a well - established Sandwich Shop with
a renowned reputation amongst local residents. This is a superb opportunity to
take on a popular and unusually busy local business in an area teeming with
customers.
This is definitely not your average Sandwich Shop!
There has been a takeaway at these premises for a number of years and the
current owners have run it as Number One Sandwich Bar for the last 12 years or
so. The business has flourished under their ownership accruing many regular
customers and a burgeoning reputation, the business has been a real labour of
love for them.
The business is now being sold, albeit reluctantly and with heavy hearts only
due to a need to concentrate on their other business interest. The vendors are
keen to see their beloved business passed to an ambitious and entrepreneurial
new owner(s) who can take this already thriving business to the next level.
Number One Sandwich Bar prides itself on the quality of its food which is
freshly prepared on the premises using local ingredients wherever possible.

respected members of the local community.

* Consider opening up the first floor to customers wishing to ‘eat in. ’

enquiry is highly recommended.
