Off-site events stall completed 20+ events with all promoter contacts handed over. Upstairs space with shower facilities currently unused — immediate potential for extra seating at no additional rent. New menu concepts proven to drive revenue uplift immediately.
Skills

Staff fully trained in all production including proprietary recipes and curry sauce — business is operational without the owner from day one. Full handover of recipes, procedures, supplier contacts and event promoter network provided.

Lease

Reason for Sale
After 17 years, we are ready to transition to the next chapter and focus on our young family. March 2026 was our strongest month in recent years at $47,000 in revenue, demonstrating what this business is capable of with the right focus. We believe the right operator can build consistently on this foundation.
