The Pantiles, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN2

The Opportunity
Friends Passage offers a rare chance to secure a hospitality venue in the beating heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells' most iconic destination. The Pantiles, with its elegant Georgian colonnade and thriving mix of independent boutiques, restaurants, and cultural events, is firmly established as the premier leisure and lifestyle address in Kent.

This 1,000 sq ft space is perfectly suited to a high-end eatery, wine bar, or destination dining concept. Positioned alongside household names and celebrity chef Atul Kochhar's Essence, the location guarantees prestige and visibility. With over 1.4 million visitors annually and a loyal local audience of affluent residents and commuters, operators can expect strong footfall and brand resonance.

Why The Pantiles?
The Pantiles is more than a shopping parade - it's a cultural landmark. From bustling food festivals to the renowned Gin & Jazz Festival, its events programme draws high-earning visitors and creates a vibrant atmosphere year-round. The landlord is offering generous incentives for the right operator, making this a compelling opportunity to establish a flagship venue in one of the UK's most desirable spa towns.

Would you like me to refine this further into two versions - one investor-focused (emphasising incentives and footfall) and one brand-led (highlighting prestige and guest experience)? That way you can adapt depending on audience.
