The subjects are located on the North side of High Street, at the West end of the town’s pedestrianised shopping precinct. 

Falkirk itself is conveniently located just off the main M9 Edinburgh to Stirling motorway, both from junction 5 travelling Westward and junction 6 travelling Eastward.

The subjects occupy the ground floor of a three storey mid terraced building, the second floor being contained within a mansard roof.

Internally, the subjects are arranged to provide a spacious seating area, which currently caters for 38 covers.  A servery has been installed with a cooking area to the rear which incorporates a gas cooker, grill, deep fryers, etc with a full extract ventilation system over.

Accessed off the servery is a further kitchen/preparation area which has a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink, formica worktops, and is fitted with various fridges, freezers and a dishwasher.

Customer toilet facilities are located to the rear of the seating area and comprise two WCs.  There is also a small store cupboard and a fire exit to the rear.

Our client has been in occupation of the business for circa three years operating as a café/restaurant and has built up a loyal customer base during this time. 

A varied menu is available during the day to include breakfasts, hot & cold filled rolls, paninis, baked potatoes, etc all of which are reasonably priced.  A range of appetising main meals are also offered which change on a quarterly basis.  An a la carte menu is available in the evening for £25 - £30 per person which changes on a monthly basis and offers a range of home cooked fresh produce. 

Both menus offer an extensive choice to suit all tastes and budgets, making the café/restaurant popular with families, couples and groups alike attracting custom locally and from further afield. 

Bistro evenings and private functions are also catered for with menus designed to suit the occasion.  The subjects also have the benefit of a table licence.

Custom is effectively generated from sit in trade although takeaways are available on request which are popular with local businesses for meetings etc.
