Legends at Steps is a smart lock up catering unit. This owner/operated restaurant is a well-equipped turnkey operation which has come to the market as the current owners are now wishing to retire. This therefore provides the next owners with a solid base on which to build their own reputation with the locals and tourists alike. Legends is only trading 5 evenings a week throughout the year however there is huge potential to increase trade further by extending the opening hours to include lunch times. The separate kiosk, which is included in the lease, is below the restaurant and currently let to a Barber at a rent of £3,750.
