This prominent Victorian corner freehold offers a turnkey, fully licensed venue in a high-footfall city location a short walk from St James’ Park. The property is well presented with period character, high ceilings and space for 85+ covers across bar and restaurant levels, making it immediately usable for hospitality operators.
Prior to closing the business traded strongly, with reported turnover rising from c.£618k (Nov 2023) to c.£700k (Nov 2024) and average annual barrelage around 135 barrels. Most fixtures and fittings are included, and ancillary spaces include a commercial kitchen, cellar, cold room, storage and office — all useful for an owner-operator or regional portfolio purchaser.
Buyers should note material considerations: the surrounding area records high crime and is classified as deprived, broadband speeds are slow, and business rates are based on a Rateable Value of £33,500. The property will suit a buyer prepared to re-open and actively manage the venue to re-establish trade, particularly on match days and during university term-time.
Overall this is a rare freehold opportunity to acquire a large, characterful city-centre venue with established trading history and clear upside for an experienced operator or investor willing to address local challenges and capitalise on location benefits.
