Leisure and hospitality specialist Sidney Phillips has brought to market the Railway Tavern, Brightlingsea’s most buoyant public house business.
Positioned a stones throw from Brightlingsea’s beach and harbour, the Railway Tavern is a prominent detached public house which has been extensively renovated throughout, stripped back to the bricks, reconfigured, and effectively rebuilt including new double glazed sash windows, electrics, plumbing, CCTV and zonal alarm system. As a result, the property requires no initial investment from an incoming buyer.
It benefits from two bars (30-40), a function room/restaurant, trade patio with outside bar, and newly installed trade kitchen. The upper floor houses a modern and spacious four bedroom accommodation, ideal for a family or live-in manager.
The Railway Tavern has been operated in its current format for the past five years. This Tendring CAMRA award winning business is well known for its real ales, and warming and welcoming atmosphere, and is one of the most utilised public houses in the town. Supported by a loyal local drinking crowd, it also benefits from trade on the neighbouring beach during the Summer months. The business hosts a quiz night every Tuesday, regular live music and private hire events.
The Railway Tavern is an ideal purchase for a first time or experienced public house operator who can continue the journey of this already established business and continue the growth that it has experienced over the past six years under its current tenure. A new operator could further increase turnover by converting the function/entertainment room into a restaurant, further utilising the newly installed commercial kitchen.
The freehold interest of the Railway Tavern is available off an asking price of £595,000.
