WE ARE INFORMED the turnover averages £1,000 p.w. in our opinion offering tremendous potential for further increase, especially with additional opening hours and with the introduction of catering. Obviously the business can continue to run as a Freehouse and in our opinion there is also potential for conversion into a Restaurant. We understand at the present time there are no Restaurants catering for Chinese cuisine in Brightlingsea, however, there is one Chinese Takeaway. We are further advised that the sales year ending 31st March, 2010 showed £45,960 with a gross profit of £33,243 (including gaming machines of £1,728).
