A licensed seafront cafe/restaurant which our client has owned and operated since 2005, bringing the business to market with a genuine reason for sale due to retirement. The premises is fantastically presented throughout with a full complement of fixtures, fittings and equipment included within the sale price. This premises benefits from a storage arch at the end of the parade which are highly desirable as there are limited numbers of those for the number of businesses there. Benefitting from low overheads along with zero business rates payable, this really is a fantastic opportunity. We really feel there is massive potential here and with uninterrupted sea views, we expect strong levels of interest so an early viewing is advised.

The premises occupies a prime seafront position within the ever-popular Palmeira Arches, Westcliff-on-Sea. The premises benefits from lay-by parking directly to the front, with high levels of parking all along the seafront which creates an enviable passing trade from locals, day-trippers and tourists.
