No good, I'm afraid - just rang and it's under offer. Oh well, at least I know what I want is available 
Not feeling too grand today, cold is back with a vengeance, wish it would just clear up! So, not much planned here. Hope you are all well.

Morning hun
The cafe is still available but a friend who owned a cafe has talked me out of it, he said the profit just isn't there unless you work the place on your own seven days a week
, so it's back to Plan A

Will do all that, hun, if I decide to go ahead.
For the moment, I'm just focusing on getting media work, should hear today/tomorrow

I'm off there soon so I'll have a chat with her Susie. I should imagine Location is important though, Jenny's is surrounded by factories and our trading estate is next door, then there is the Villa Ground etc. She serves mainly fry up food with a lunch menu of basic English food. She's open 7 - 2 weekdays and 7 -12 on Saturday.

Hi Susie, I chatted to Jenny, basically she puts it into 3 categories.
1. Location, although there are other Cafe's there, Jenny's is the biggest and easiest to get to.
2. She doesn't depend on passing trade, it's mostly people from the factories and our trading estate, except on Match days when she has a huge take out trade, mainly bacon or sausage sandwiches.
3. Size, Jenny's is in an old corner Victorian building, she can seat up to 50 people and is often full.
All the other things are the usual, bulk buying etc. I was surprised at how much is pre cooked though, then kept in the fridge until needed, the fry ups I have there always taste as though they've just been cooked, but actually they have been deep fried 48 at a time and then just heated again in a frying pan when needed. Taste good though.

That's very helpful, Jim, thanks so much for taking the trouble.
I think I need to do a lot more research, and go and check stuff out. I had to have an honest chat with myself and I just don't think my cooking skills are up to cooking for other people - it might taste fine but I'm a bit slapdash and can't always guarantee that it will look OK So that means hiring a cook, which means less profit.
Food for thought, as they say
