Description

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly successful, beautifully designed restaurant in the heart of The Broadway, the most desirable and affluent dining destinations in Leigh-on-Sea.

The premises underwent a full, high-end refurbishment less than two years ago, finished to an exceptional specification throughout. The stylish interior has been thoughtfully designed to create a premium dining experience, with no expense spared on fixtures, fittings, kitchen equipment, and overall ambience.

A genuine turnkey opportunity — a buyer can commence trading immediately with no additional capital expenditure required.

Impressive 4.5* rating on Google Reviews

Significant online presence with 13.4k engaged followers on Instagram

Highly regarded locally with consistent positive customer feedback

Licenced Sunday to Wednesday 10am to 11pm and Thursday to Saturday 10am to 12am

The restaurant enjoys an established and growing reputation, supported by a strong digital footprint and repeat customer base.

The business delivers a strong and established turnover, yet still offers substantial scope for further growth:

Currently closed on Mondays & Tuesdays – immediate opportunity to increase weekly revenue

Potential to introduce morning and daytime trading (brunch, coffee, remote working clientele, etc.)

Scope to implement a takeaway and delivery service to further expand revenue streams

Opportunity to incorperate private hire, events, and corporate bookings

The current owner has chosen to operate within limited hours, leaving clear upside for an ambitious operator.

Opportunities of this calibre on The Broadway are extremely rare — particularly with such a recent, high-spec refurbishment already in place. This is an ideal acquisition for an experienced restaurateur or hospitality group seeking a prestigious location with proven performance and further growth potential.

Early viewing is strongly recommended. RX742847
