Pub Overview

Subject of a major refurbishment, the Royal Hotel enjoys a very prominent corner location just off the main high street in St Leonards on Sea, Essex and is directly opposite St Leonards Warrior Square Station with direct line to London and approximately 600 yards from the sea front. The demographic features substantial local trade including young professionals, mix of families, retirees, cask ale drinkers and seasonal tourists and commuters.

It is an imposing three storey building with a lovely wood panelled interior. The site also benefits from high ceilings, attractive windows and a traditional feel. The outlet currently operates as a community drinks led pub but has significant potential to deliver a good food offering with the planned investment.

The proposed refurbishment will look to capitalise on the passing trade by improving kerb appeal through an external redecoration including new signage and lighting scheme. Internally there will be upgrades to the kitchen, trade areas, bathroom and installation of an open fire. The Royal Hotel offers the chance to create a venue where locals and visitors alike can meet and socialise.

The ideal operator for this site will have the vision and skills required to engage with passers-by going to the station, tourist and the local trade. Skills in developing a good basic food offering are important.

Applicants should be aware that all refurbishments are subject to final board approval which will be determined as part of the leasing process.

Private Accommodation

The private accommodation consists of 3 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and bathroom.
