Restaurant in sort after Hastings Old Town.

This property, previously a highly successful seafood restaurant for two decades with an impressive turnover of approximately £800,000, is now available for new ownership. After an extensive refurbishment over the past six months, the site is ready for a new chapter. Initially, I hoped my son would take over the operations, but he has chosen to pursue other interests. Although I have rebranded it as a steak and seafood restaurant, its prime location makes it suitable for virtually any cuisine, offering tremendous flexibility for prospective owners.

The surrounding area enhances the restaurant's appeal, situated in a vibrant pedestrian zone teeming with a diverse selection of restaurants, bars, pubs, and charming antique shops. This bustling atmosphere is complemented by a variety of local businesses that attract considerable foot traffic. Together, they create an inviting environment for diners and shoppers alike.

While the local competition comprises a mix of complementary businesses, they work in harmony to create an engaging dining and shopping experience. The restaurant is poised to thrive in this dynamic setting, especially given the opportunity for delivery services and the potential for further development in capable hands. The range of fixtures and fittings included in the sale ensures that the new owners can hit the ground running.

Key Features and Opportunities

This property presents numerous advantages, including:

• A desirable location within a conservation area
• Access to a diverse menu featuring local produce
• A double-fronted shopfront space for excellent visibility
• A dedicated dry storeroom
• A modern point of sale system to streamline operations
• An easy management setup, making it suitable for first-time business owners
• Essential early viewing is advised for interested buyers

Currently, the business does not have an online presence, but there is significant potential to enhance visibility and attract a broader customer base through digital marketing strategies. With a talented team of five employees already in place, owners can benefit from an efficient operational structure. Furthermore, I am willing to provide training opportunities to new owners, should they require guidance during the transition.

This restaurant offers an exciting opportunity for anyone looking to enter the hospitality industry, particularly in a vibrant and supportive community. With the right leadership and vision, the future possibilities are endless. This is one of the few double fronted propertie on George Street allowing for outside seating. We have only recently got next-door back as it had been sublet for a few months and we are in thr process of decorating it to match the rest of the restaurant. 

Possible option to pay as you go/  rent.
