Description

Description

The property comprises a large two-storey, double-fronted building of partially rendered brick elevations beneath a multi‑pitch tiled roofline, offering a strong visual presence and excellent roadside prominence within this popular suburban area.

Internally, the property provides a spacious and well-laid-out trading environment, typically incorporating a bar area and extensive restaurant seating.

The layout is well-suited to accommodate a wide range of customers including families, groups, and casual diners, supporting consistent all-day trade.

Location

The Red Lion Beefeater is located on the northern edge of Blackpool, just off the A587 Fleetwood Road, providing convenient access to Blackpool town centre and Fleetwood, as well as connections to the M55 motorway.

The site sits adjacent to the Premier Inn Blackpool hotel and is positioned within a predominantly residential area, with nearby local shops, supermarkets and essential amenities.

It is also within easy reach of Blackpool’s seafront and promenade attractions. Public transport is readily accessible, with regular bus services operating along the A587 corridor, offering direct links into Blackpool town centre and surrounding areas, making the location easily accessible for both residents and visitors.

Internal Details

The property opens into a welcoming reception area, leading through to a public bar area and sports bar (c.40 covers), offering a relaxed drinking environment well-suited to casual trade and live sports viewing.

The main dining area is arranged across a split-level restaurant (c.150 covers), creating distinct yet connected areas that allow flexibility in accommodating different customer groups, from families to larger parties.

Customer facilities are well catered for with two sets of customer WC’s, in addition to a disabled WC with baby change facilities.

To the rear, the property benefits from a fully equipped trade kitchen, including a walk-in fridge and freezer, supporting efficient service and high-volume food preparation. Additional back-of-house space includes a staff room, providing essential welfare facilities for employees.

Fixtures & Fittings

The trade fixtures and fittings are included in the purchase price. Certain items bearing corporate identity, brand name, third-party owned or on the excluded list (see “Terms of Disposal” document) may be removed from the property prior to, or shortly after, completion.
