A fantastic opportunity to acquire a fully licensed tapas, café and bar venue, ideally located in the heart of Torquay. This successful owner-operated business combines daytime British classics with evening Spanish tapas, earning an excellent reputation among both locals and visitors. It also hosts popular “Murder Mystery Evenings” throughout the year, adding a distinctive entertainment aspect to its offer.

Currently operated by a couple without regular staff, the layout and restricted trading hours have been designed for a relaxed workload while maintaining healthy returns. There is clear potential to expand through longer trading hours or the introduction of a Sunday lunch service.

The premises present a warm, modern aesthetic with industrial design touches, a bespoke bar area, and a fully equipped commercial kitchen. A spacious cellar provides ample storage, and convenient parking nearby supports customer access and repeat business.

All trade fixtures and fittings, excluding the vendor’s private items, are included in the sale. A full inventory will be provided prior to exchange of contracts, and all stock will be sold at valuation on completion.
