The L’Experience Restaurant has been part of the Manx fine dining scene for over 28 years. Run by the husband and wife team of Tony and Gill Quirk the restaurant has earned an enviable reputation not only for the consistent high quality of the food but also the whole dining experience.
Tony and Gill have decided that it is now time for them to take a well earned rest and to pass on the opportunity for a new owner to carry on with the success of this popular restaurant.
The restaurant is fully equipped for two services so that the purchaser can start trading immediately.
The centrally heated and partially double glazed premises are leasehold and the existing lease expires in September 2013. The leaseholders are currently in negotiation with the landlord to extend the lease for a further 6 years commencing in 2013. The existing lease is available for inspection. The current rent is £15,700 p.a. with a rent review due in 2010. The lease is a full repairing lease.
The restaurant trades very successfully and has built up a long record of posting healthy profits. Current accounts are available for inspection.
The restaurant currently trades for 220 days of the year and therefore there is a excellent opportunity to increase turnover and trade by opening on a daily basis throughout the year.
