A BUSY Hereford diner is on the market as its owners look to retire.

The Pikadish Diner, just off the Straight Mile in Hereford's Rotherwas, is a popular haunt for many working in the businesses on the industrial estate.

But now the hunt is on for new owners as the current owner, who has operated the business under the current brand for a number of years, looks to take things a little easier.

Marketing agents Jonathan Preece said the property, which is on the market for £300,000, offers scope for further development of the existing trade through longer opening hours.

The premises are available for immediate occupation and include a comprehensive trade inventory of fixtures and fittings.

The diner includes a restaurant area with open plan kitchen to rear of servery counter and space for approximately 85 covers, a dry goods store, prep room with fridge and freezers, washing up area, further catering kitchen, and toilets.

Upstairs there is a apacious, self contained flat comprising a kitchen, living room, bathroom and double bedroom, while outside there is a large tarmac car park, trade patio, and two garages.

The property is held under a 99 year lease from Herefordshire Council, dated November 1, 1983, and at a current rent of £5,600 per annum. It has a rateable value of £8,800.
