About this business
The premises represent a versatile trading opportunity, well suited for use as a bar, restaurant, or combined operation, and benefit from a late alcohol licence. The venue provides seating for approximately 100 covers and has been owned and operated by the vendors since 2007, during which time it has developed a strong reputation and a loyal customer base. The kitchen is currently operated by a Thai chef providing evening food service; however, there is scope to enhance turnover by introducing brunch and lunchtime trading. The venue hosts a regular programme of entertainment, including quiz nights, karaoke, live bands, and resident DJs on Friday and Saturday evenings, contributing to its position as an established and popular destination in the town.
