Shore Road, Poole

A unique opportunity to acquire a landmark beachfront café, bar and restaurant in one of the UK’s most prestigious coastal locations.

Positioned at the entrance to the world-renowned Sandbanks Peninsula, the Jazz Café enjoys a prime location directly on Dorset’s award-winning Blue Flag beach. With uninterrupted sea views and high footfall from both locals and visitors year-round, this well-established business combines lifestyle and profitability in a truly exceptional setting.

Successfully operated by the current owners for the past 28 years, the Jazz Café has built a strong reputation for its relaxed, beachside atmosphere, excellent food and popular Sunday Lunchtime Jazz Sessions. It is also a highly sought-after venue for private events including weddings, birthday celebrations and corporate functions, catering to groups of up to 150 guests. A loyalty scheme with over 900 active members further supports its strong community presence.

The property is arranged over a single level and features multiple open plan dining areas, bi-fold doors opening onto a spacious terrace, an open log fire and tasteful beach-inspired décor. Additional amenities include a commercial kitchen, office space, male and female restrooms, and an external ice cream kiosk - perfect for capturing passing beach trade.

There are 21 years remaining on the lease with an annual rent of £69,000 and rent reviews every three years. Although fully licensed for evening trading, the business currently operates during daytime hours only. This offers significant potential for expansion through evening service, live music events or extended seasonal hours.
With a proven trading history, strong brand presence and exceptional location, the Jazz Café presents a rare opportunity to own a thriving hospitality business on one of Britain’s most desirable stretches of coastline.
