It has long been the destination venue for parties, celebrations and fun nights out. Operating evening trade only, (no day time trade is undertaken) the business is staffed by the Owners, 1 full time Chef and a pool of around 10 part time staff. Abridged figures for the period ending March 2012 show a turnover of £158,413 with a G.P of 66% and restated net profit of c.£32,586. Around 5% of trade is from take away. It is felt that real value might be added through the addition of daytime trading.
