EllaGoose Restaurant & Functions is a licensed restaurant and function centre ideally located in the main shopping precinct of Benalla. Situated just off the main street, the business occupies a large premises with fantastic exposure to passing traffic. The vendors own the freehold which is also available for sale.
For more than 16 years, this locally owned and operated business has serviced Benalla and the surrounding area including the local tourist trade.
EllaGoose Restaurant & Functions specialise in delicious, modern Australian cuisine with a French influence using only the freshest, local ingredients along with a variety of local and international wines. The good-sized restaurant can cater for up to 60 diners. Full table service is provided, which is a great point of difference for the business, setting them apart from all other dining venues in Benalla.
The business caters for all types of events and has a large private function room with its own bar that can seat up to 140 patrons. There are also two semi-private areas used for smaller functions. These can cater for up to 25 guests and are great for small get-togethers.
The business currently operates for 15 hours per week; with the restaurant opening Wednesday and Thursday evenings 6:00pm to 9:30pm and Friday and Saturday evenings from 6pm 10:00pm. Extending the trading hours or the introduction of Sunday trading would increase the potential to earn additional revenue.
There is further opportunity to grow the business within the functions trade. The current owner has focused mainly on the restaurant and recognises the potential to grow the business in this area.
