A much-loved ice cream and coffee spot in the New Forest is now on the market, as its current owners prepare for retirement. Arrosto, located on Beaulieu Road just ten miles from Southampton, is listed for sale at £74,950.
Since opening in 2015, Arrosto has become a community favourite, known for its indulgent gelato sundaes, crepes, and paninis. The café boasts a five-star food hygiene rating and comfortably seats up to 35 guests. It has been operating successfully under management, making it a potentially turnkey opportunity for new owners exploring ice cream franchise opportunities or looking to break into the local hospitality scene.
Among its standout menu items is the Love Chocolate sundae — a decadent dessert featuring scoops of toffee, vanilla, and chocolate gelato, served in an edible chocolate cup topped with warm chocolate sauce, hazelnuts, and chocolate sprinkles.
According to Blacks Brokers, the café most recently reported an annual turnover of £142,763, with a gross profit of £103,219. Financial records are available through February 28, 2024. The listing also highlights the potential to boost earnings through extended opening hours.
For entrepreneurs and dessert lovers alike, Arrosto represents a well-established business in a prime location — combining the charm of a small-town café with the growing appeal of the latest ice cream franchise landscape.
