Description

The premises comprise a fully fitted restaurant and bar opportunity, occupying a prominent position on York Place in central Brighton.

The property has historically traded as Meat Liquor and benefits from an extensive existing restaurant fit-out, including a large front-of-house seating and bar area, substantial commercial kitchen, walk-in cold room, full-width extraction system, office accommodation and ancillary storage.

The premises have historically operated under a Premises Licence permitting the sale of alcohol, late night refreshment and recorded music, together with an external seating area authorised under the associated Brighton & Hove Pavement Licence, subject to the relevant consents and conditions.

The existing fit-out and historic licensing use may assist in reducing the initial capital expenditure and lead-in time for an ingoing operator, making the property a strong opportunity within an established commercial and hospitality location.

The property is considered well-suited to restaurant, bar-led or experiential hospitality concepts seeking a prominent, fitted unit within a lively central Brighton trading position.

The property occupies a prominent position on York Place within central Brighton, linking London Road, Brighton Station and the North Laine district.

The surrounding area is an established mixed-use and hospitality location, benefiting from strong levels of passing vehicular, pedestrian and public transport traffic throughout the day and evening, supported by a dense residential and commercial catchment.

Nearby occupiers include Nando’s, Co-op, Carlito Burrito and Moksha, alongside a strong mix of independent operators within the North Laine area such as Coffeetzar and Tonys Pizza.
