Description
The property comprises a purpose-built, restaurant/bar building, designed in Brewers Fayre’s recognisable contemporary style.
Constructed with a mix of traditional brickwork and modern cladding, the unit offers a welcoming and family-friendly aesthetic that integrates seamlessly within the wider leisure park environment.
The property also benefits from a direct pedestrian walkway linking the restaurant to the adjacent Premier Inn, providing a valuable and consistent source of additional trade. This convenient connection encourages hotel guests to utilise the restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and evening dining, enhancing occupancy-linked revenue potential.
For an incoming operator, this presents a significant opportunity to capture captive demand from overnight visitors, drive repeat custom, and further strengthen weekday trading performance, underpinning the site’s strong year-round income profile.

The Tindale Crossing Brewers Fayre in Bishop Auckland is located on the western edge of the town at the Tindale Crescent retail and leisure park. It sits just off the A689, providing convenient access from Bishop Auckland town centre as well as links towards Crook and the A1(M).
The restaurant is adjacent to the Premier Inn Bishop Auckland hotel and is surrounded by large retail stores and leisure operators, making it a well-positioned and easily accessible destination for both local residents and visitors travelling by car.
