Seabank offers the opportunity to acquire a long established leasehold fish & chip café & takeaway plus two self-contained holiday apartments above. The café currently trades during the summer season only. However, it generates a generous income within this time. The café provides approximately 20 internal covers, with further seating for 33 on the fabulous south-facing terrace. This attractive outdoor space is a particular feature of the business, creating an appealing setting for alfresco dining. Customers order and collect their drinks and food from the service counter. Situated above the restaurant are two self-contained holiday apartments, each with two bedrooms. Both are decorated and presented to a high standard and enjoy fantastic panoramic sea views. The apartments are available throughout the year and we have been informed they are already fully booked for the 2027 summer season. The apartments provide an additional income to the already impressive café turnover.

THE BUSINESS
Seabank café & takeaway and holiday accommodation created a generous income of over £230,000 for the year end April 2025. As the café trades seasonally and the owners do not push the letting side of the business, there is the opportunity for the next operator to trade longer through the year and to review the occupancy levels and marketing arrangements of the apartments and potentially increase the turnover further.Accounting information will be made available to Bona Fide applicants following a formal viewing arranged through Bettesworths.
TENURE
Leasehold. The current annual rent for the property as a whole, comprising the café, terrace and two holiday apartments, is £45,000.
