Cogogo are delighted to present to the market an exciting opportunity to acquire a well-established and much-loved catering business - The Rhubarb Kitchen.
Bursting with personality, flavour and with a strong local following, this is not your average food business.
With market leading levels of turnover, this is the perfect acquisition for someone who wants to run their own food business for the first time (all the hard work and investment has already been taken care of), or for an established operator to add Rhubarb to a growing portfolio, caputing a huge ready-made marketing in the Peak District.
The owner, a serial entrepreneur and marketing expert, is moving on to a new project to review and reinvent another unrelated business. All operational procedures are set up and in place for Rhubarb, including maintenance, fire safety regulations and a 5-star food hygiene rating.
There is significant scope to further expand the Rhubarb brand. They have a huge branded gazebo (as part of the sale) to allow the new owner to run pop-ups at market towns or at music events, or even weddings. There is also scope to open as a full-time takeaway/evening Bistro/ Supper Clubs - all of which they have offered in the past and have always been sell-out events.
They have also run cookery courses for all kinds of clients (men wanting to learn to cook more, cooking for just one person, batch cooking, how to make a special evening meal (3 courses).
Another untapped market is home-cooked ready meals, made in the kitchen and chilled in the blast freezer, ready for customers to collect and heat for their evening meal, which is another revenue-generating possibility.

Location
The Rhubarb Kitchen is in an extremely prominent position within Wirksworth town. Located near Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, there are always customers looking for a drink and a bite to eat when visiting the railway. The local independent cinema is also located on North End (the same road), and they have no plans to provide food or drink, which is another great untapped opportunity for growth.
Premises
The kitchen is considerable in size, fitted out with plenty of storage area, two high-end smeg ovens, two dishwashers and a boiling water filter tap. There are also two high-spec fridge freezers, plus a high-end blast chiller worth over £2,000. There are no leases in place - everything is paid for. It is also beautiful in design.
Tenure
This opportunity is available on a Leasehold basis. The landlord has owned the property for a considerable number of years and is now seeking to enter into a long-term lease agreement with the prospective tenant. This presents an excellent opportunity to secure a well-established premises under favourable and stable lease terms.
Hours
The business operates 24 hours, reflecting its flexibility in meeting catering demands at any hour, from breakfast buffets to midnight feasts.
Staff
The business currently operates efficiently under the owner’s direction, ideal for a hands-on buyer or team.
Financial Profile
The business has huge potential to increase already excellent income streams by opening as a takeaway as well as providing external catering. You can achieve this easily at the Rhubarb Kitchen because it is two buildings adjoined by steps. This means you can be servicing external clients and walk-ins at the same time.
