As advertised on RightBiz, the space recently underwent a transformation with a pastel and retro style interior. There is 'fabulous' signage throughout that were created by the owners.

The cafe has built a loyal customer base and a strong social media presence with their vibrant images thanks to their tasty treats and design of the shop.

The advert adds that the 'charling little stop' on Henderson Street, "is known for its warm hospitality, delicious pies, great coffee and friendly service.

"While the shop does offer both internal and external seating, the business is set up mainly as a “grab and go” operation.

"Chums Pie Shop is quickly becoming a favourite with visitors and locals alike who enjoy the overall experience of delicious pies, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere."

The advert adds that the business will most likely 'continue to prosper in the coming years' and would be a great opportunity for a new owner to build on the success of the business. The much-loved quirky cafe is on sale with a leasehold of £25,000.

It reads: "As an owner-operator, the new owner of Chums will have the chance to build on the success of the business and the opportunity to put their stamp on the business. From creating new menu items, sourcing new branded products to offer for sale, the possibilities are endless.
