Superbly Located Licensed Restaurant with Owner’s Accommodation Queens Road, Brighton

A well-established and prominently positioned restaurant, situated on the main thoroughfare linking Brighton mainline railway station with the town centre and seafront. The business benefits from substantial pedestrian footfall throughout the year, generated by commuters using the station, employees of nearby office buildings and visitors to Brighton’s retail and leisure facilities. Previously

trading as a hot pot, barbecue and Sichuan cuisine restaurant, the premises are fitted and equipped to accommodate a similar concept, although they would suit a wide range of alternative cuisines and trading styles. The restaurant provides approximately 50 covers across the ground and first floors and holds a premises licence. The business has been in the current owner’s hands for 15 years and is

reluctantly offered for sale due to their wish to pursue other business opportunities. The owner's accommodation is located on the second floor.

THE PREMISES: Situated on Queens Road, one of Brighton’s principal thoroughfares linking the mainline railway station with the city centre, the premises benefit from excellent passing trade and access to several key bus routes. The restaurant is arranged over ground, first-floor and basement accommodation and is presented in excellent condition following a recent refurbishment. Customer seating is provided across the ground and first floors, offering approximately 50 covers. Formerly

operated as a hot pot, barbecue and Sichuan restaurant, the premises retain bespoke tables with integrated gas-cylinder facilities, making them

particularly suitable for a similar style of operation. The basement kitchen comprises a fully extracted cooking area, preparation kitchen and separate wash-up room,

connects the basement with the ground and first floors.
