Large leasehold town-centre pub with commercial kitchen and beer garden — 20-year lease.
Seating for circa 180 in large ground-floor trading space
A prominent corner pub and restaurant occupying an Art Deco building on Bridge Street, offered leasehold with a fully equipped commercial kitchen and large ground-floor trading area seating circa 180. The property includes a well-presented patio beer garden for around 50, a substantial cellar, office and adjacent external storage — all presented with a high-quality inventory included in the sale.
Trading evidence includes recent weekly sales reported between £5,000–£10,000 and historic annual takings of approximately £1.8m (net of VAT) in 2022 under prior operation; however any figures are not guaranteed. The premises benefit from a premises licence permitting late-night sales, good transport links to Bristol and London, and a central town-centre position close to multiple national operators and the Orchard Shopping Centre.
Material considerations are set out plainly: the offer is for a 20-year commercial lease that began in January 2023 with annual rent at £70,000 and a required rent deposit of £21,000. Many mortgage lenders are reluctant to lend on leasehold businesses with only 20 years unexpired; buyers should confirm finance options before committing. The location records higher local crime levels and there is a medium flood risk — both factors to assess when planning operations and insurance.
This opportunity suits an experienced operator or investor seeking an established, high-capacity licensed premises in a prime town centre. The property is mostly turnkey in terms of fixtures and equipment, but operators should factor in rent/lease risk, local area challenges and confirm trading projections independently.
