It was opened in 2005 by by Jon and Laura Vennell and has recently been renovated.

Mr Atashroo has rebranded the restaurant as Where There's Smoke. It opened on July 7.

David Cash, director in Christie & Co’s hospitality team, which handled the sale, said:

“It is a pleasure to have acted for Jon and Laura in the sale of their business and family home. We always discussed that the most likely buyer would be a couple who could step in to Jon and Laura’s shoes and make the business their own.
“We are still seeing lots of demand for hospitality businesses, particularly where the property is freehold.”
