THE Newcastle office of business agents, Christie + Co, has been appointed to sell Pots and Pancakes, which is situated on Russell Street in the centre of North Shields.

The business has a cafe and is ideal for Brownie, Scout and Guide groups, mother and toddler parties, adult parties and corporate events. There is a food preparation area, cooking facilities and numerous tables and chairs, which are used for party food and the painting of ceramics.

Simon Robson, who is handling the sale, said: "The business has been established for just over a year and has experienced steady growth during this time, with a great client base.

"As well as organising parties, the vendors also visit clients at other locations, including nurseries, youth centres and they also host a ladies' night."

Christie + Co is seeking an asking price of £130,000 for the freehold interest of Pots and Pancakes, although there is a leasehold option with a premium of £65,000 and negotiable terms.
