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.
