Newly renovated seaside café with strong turnover and growth potential.
Seafront parade location with high pedestrian footfall
This well-presented, move-in-ready café occupies a prominent seafront parade in Westcliff-on-Sea, benefiting from high pedestrian footfall and excellent visibility. The premises have been newly refurbished to a high standard and are offered with all fixtures, fittings and equipment included, allowing an incoming operator to start trading immediately. The 600 sq ft layout is compact and efficient, suitable for café, takeaway or small restaurant use.
The business currently delivers consistent turnover and clear upside: extending opening hours and introducing a delivery service have not been exploited by the current owner. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support online ordering and digital marketing. There is also a one-bedroom, one-bathroom element included in the listing, which can be used as staff accommodation or storage/office space depending on lease permissions.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold and located in a very deprived neighbourhood with a high local crime rate, which may affect evening trade and insurance costs. The business sits in a city/major town centre with many nearby amenities and strong daytime trade from beach visitors and local services, but operators should factor local socioeconomic conditions into their plans.
Overall this is a turnkey opportunity for an investor or operator looking for a seafront café with immediate income and simple, realistic growth levers — provided they accept the leasehold tenure and local area challenges.
