Trading & Business
The business has been operated by the present owners from August 2020 until October 2023 as a wet-led cocktail bar. The owners are based in Brighton and it is proving increasingly difficult for them to operate the business under management from this location; hence, it closed in October. These premises offer huge potential for a go-ahead independent bar operator, particularly when combined with a food offer. The Premises licence allows for the supply of alcohol from 8 to 3.30 Thursday to Saturday, inclusive.
Licences/Permissions
We are informed that the property holds a Premises license granted by Bournemouth Borough Council. The Licensing Act 2003 states that properties serving alcohol have a designated premises supervisor who must hold a Personal license. We suggest that all purchasers take appropriate professional advice. We have not had sight of this licensing documentation.
Tenure
LEASEHOLD. The owners inform us that the premises are being offered with a new 10-year lease with 5-year reviews at a commencing rent of £18,000 per annum, exclusive. The new lease will be excluded from the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954. We have not had sight of this lease documentation.
