Stranraer, also known as The Toon, is a town in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It is located in the historical parish of Inch in the county of Wigtownshire. It lies on the shores of Loch Ryan, on the northern side of the isthmus joining the Rhins of Galloway to the mainland. Stranraer is Dumfries and Galloway's second-largest town with a population, including the immediate surrounding area, of nearly 13,000 inhabitants.

Stranraer is an administrative centre for the West Galloway Wigtownshire area of Dumfries and Galloway. It was formerly a ferry port, connecting Scotland with Belfast and Larne in Northern Ireland; the last service was transferred to nearby Cairnryan in November 2011. It lies by road 87 miles (140km) southwest of Glasgow, 52 miles (84km) southwest of Ayr and 72 miles (116km) to the west of Dumfries.

Entrance to the main restaurant is from the public carpark at the rear of the building. The restaurant can hold 80 covers with the outside paving area recently added in the Premises Licence. An open and spacious area, it has been modified to a very high standard with its own bar located to the rear and next to the commercial kitchen with a bespoke wood-fired pizza oven being an eye-catching feature in the restaurant. This is used to cook a number of dishes keeping kitchen gas and electricity costs to a minimum.

The bar is accessed by a separate door located at the front of the building with a small external area covered by an awning. This was erected during the Covid pandemic to accommodate hospitality rules, and which has also been recently added to the Premises Licence.

All fixtures and fittings are included within the sale (excluding any personal items).

Papa Rab's Restaurant Bar has had its best performing year to date but unfortunately, health issues has made it increasingly difficult for the owner to commit to such a business. Great opportunity for the right person.
