Watkins Commercial is delighted to bring to market this exceptional hospitality opportunity,
occupying an enviable and highly prominent trading position on East Street, in the very heart
of Brighton city centre. Successfully trading since 2013, the business has established an
enviable local reputation and a loyal repeat clientele, underscored by outstanding ratings
across both Google and TripAdvisor. While currently operating as a popular burger house, the comprehensive extraction systems, versatile layout, and professional kitchen infrastructure provide immediate scope for conversion to a broad spectrum of alternative high-street fast-casual concepts. The premises benefits from an alcohol licence and a late-night refreshment licence, permitting alcohol sales every day from 12 noon until 2:00 am and
late-night refreshment from 11:00 pm until 2:00 am, perfectly positioning an incoming
operator to capitalise on Brighton’s thriving night-time economy. The site’s strategic
location—situated in immediate proximity to a central taxi rank, key arterial bus routes, and
bustling evening venues—delivers sustained, high-volume footfall and presents significant
commercial upside for an ambitious purchaser.
