Eastern Esplanade, Southend-on-Sea

For Sale £125,000

Lordsons are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to take over a long established seafront bar and restaurant in one of Essex's most desirable coastal locations. Perfectly positioned with uninterrupted sea views, this venue benefits from strong year round trade from locals, tourists, and day trippers, surrounded by hotels, guest houses, and residential properties.

The business has been successfully trading and was refurbished at the start of this year, giving the restaurant a fresh, modern look throughout. Offering around 38 covers, it provides a stylish and relaxed setting that appeals to a wide customer base.

It holds an excellent reputation locally and online, rated highly on Google, TripAdvisor, and The Fork, and supported by a loyal, regular following. The menu features a selection of popular dishes including seafood, pasta, grills, and pizzas, alongside a carefully chosen wine and cocktail list.

Now mainly staff run and overseen owner, this business offers huge potential for a hands on operator to build on its success. There is clear scope to extend trading hours, host private events, and push local marketing to drive further growth.

The restaurant is fully refurbished and equipped with new fixtures, fittings, and catering equipment, making it ready to trade immediately. The overall presentation is clean, professional, and perfectly suited to both casual and dining guests.

Current weekly takings POA, with low overheads and plenty of room for development. This is a turnkey business opportunity in a prime seafront location, ideal for an owner operator or hospitality professional looking for a profitable and established venture.
