Business Summary

On offer is this popular Award-winning fully licensed Cafe and Fine Dining Restaurant business in rural New Zealand. This business has been operating under our ownership for the past 14 years and has grown from strength to strength. Open 6 days and 6 nights a week and operated by 2 full time & 6 part time staff, The Black Stump Cafe and Harrows Restaurant has a loyal local following together with "passing trade" created by our convenient location, midway between Wellington and Hawke's Bay on State Highway 2. Boasting 3 menus - Cafe, full a la carte Restaurant fare & Gourmet Pizzas, we offer something to suit everyone's palate and pocket.

We have a fully stocked bar offering excellent wines, beers & spirits.

This business would be a goldmine for a couple where one is a chef and the other prepared to work front-of-house.

Modern decor, state-of-art fixtures and fittings all housed in a former ANZ Bank building constructed in 1904. Fully earthquake proof building with huge modern extension, modern open kitchen, beautifully appointed modern cafe, initimate formal dining room and cosy private outdoor dining area.

The Cafe seats 40 - 50 while formal Dining Room seats up to 60 comfortably. A sliding glass wall divides the two areas and can be opened to create one large dining space suitable for weddings, functions etc.

Out-catering is another very successful string to The Black Stump bow. We have 5 weddings booked in the next 2 months and have an on-going and constant flow of daytime and night time speciality functions with individually designed menus created to suit.

The building is Freehold and available for sale ($400,000 negotiable) or lease ($400pw + rates & insurances).
