Could you provide a mobile catering unit at How Hill?

Expressions of interest are sought for an exciting opportunity to deliver a new mobile catering facility selling hot/cold drinks, cakes and snacks at Toad Hole Cottage, How Hill, Ludham, Norfolk. NR29 5PG.

The site is a very popular location for visitors. It has a small museum and visitor centre, boat trips, free 24 hour moorings for around 30 hire and privately owned boats, walking routes, nature trail, popular family picnic field, gardens, car park and public toilets. The location is also home to an environmental study centre.

We are offering a pitch for a catering company to provide takeaway sales of hot and cold drinks (non-alcoholic), snacks and cakes, but not hot food or ice cream (ice cream is already available for sale from the Information Centre).

The mobile unit would have to be self-sufficient in terms of mains power and water supply.

The site is offered rent-free on a profit share basis for the 2024 season covering the Spring Bank Holidays, weekends and school holiday periods. The operator would need to be willing to share operating financial information.

It will be important for the mobile catering operator to understand and work in conjunction with the Authority to look to provide suitable provision that offers added value and attracts new footfall to the site.

Further details of the exercise and to respond please download and fill out the Expression of interest form (DOC) and once completed email it to tenders@broads-authority.gov.uk before the end date.

The deadline for responses is 5pm on Thursday 25 April 2024.
