The Spruce Goose is situated within an established industrial estate in Basingstoke, just off the B3400 and in close proximity to Junction 6 of the M3 motorway.

The property benefits from a strong location adjacent to several popular leisure attractions, including the iFLY Indoor Skydiving Centre, Milestones Living History Museum, Planet Ice and the Basingstoke Aquadrome, all of which contribute to consistent footfall from the surrounding area.

The property also adjoins a Premier Inn hotel, with which it shares a 50/50 split of the customer car park, providing an additional source of trade from overnight guests.

Basingstoke town centre lies a short distance to the south, offering a wide range of retail and leisure amenities, while Basingstoke railway station provides regular services to London Waterloo and the wider region.

The location further benefits from strong road connections, with easy access to the M3 motorway, linking to Winchester (approximately 20 miles to the west), Southampton (approximately 35 miles to the south) and Central London (approximately 50 miles to the northeast). As a result, the property attracts trade from a broad catchment area, including visitors travelling to and from the cruise terminals at Southampton.

To the left-hand side is the bar, which provides seating for approximately 50 covers and is equipped with two AWP machines and a children’s claw machine, together with an open fireplace. A large storeroom is located off the bar area, currently utilised for the storage of dry breakfast goods and other supplies, as well as housing the alarm system, with access leading to the rear of the property.

Adjacent to the storeroom, on the left-hand side, is a disabled WC. To the right of the store cupboard, a doorway leads into a hallway providing access to the upper floor via a staircase, as well as a corridor serving both customer and staff facilities.

These facilities include separate ladies’ and gentlemen’s WCs (the ladies’ comprising four cubicles, and the gents’ offering five urinals and two cubicles), together with a staff room. The corridor continues through and loops back into the main restaurant area.

The principal restaurant is located to the right-hand side of the main entrance and is arranged over a series of split levels, providing approximately 98 covers in total. The space incorporates a mix of booth seating and standard table arrangements across four distinct levels, creating a varied and flexible dining environment. To the rear of the restaurant is access to the kitchen, together with a hot plate serving area for breakfast service.

The trading areas throughout the property are carpeted.

Beyond this, a doorway leads into the main commercial kitchen, which is arranged in an L-shaped, galley-style format. The kitchen is well laid out and includes a generous preparation area and pot wash station, along with access to an external walk-in fridge and freezer.

To the rear of the kitchen, a corridor provides access to ancillary areas, splitting in two directions. This includes an upper-level cellar and access to an enclosed bin storage area, which leads out to the rear service yard for deliveries. Further along the corridor is an additional storage cupboard, before the hallway continues to the rear of the building.

At the end of the corridor, there is access to the staircase leading to the upper floor accommodation, as well as a private garden/staff area, which also benefits from side access to the front of the property.
