Property description
The restaurant premises is located in the busy and well-regarded St. Marychurch district of Torquay. St Marychurch is a popular area of the town and is situated less than half a mile from the sea and less than a mile from Torquay town centre. The holiday district of Babbacombe is a 5 minute walk from St Marychurch and both areas swell during the summer months with the influx of tourists to The English Riviera. St Marychurch is recognised as one of Torquay’s most desirable locations, with a fine mix of privately owned shops, an attractive pedestrianised precinct and tourist attractions including the Model Village, the Cliff Railway, Babbacombe Downs and Bygones Victorian Museum.
The restaurant is situated over two floors; ground floor seating 22 with bar and commercial kitchen and lower ground floor seating 22 with its own fully equipped bar area. The lower ground floor lends itself to private functions and more intimate dinning occasions. The interior of the restaurant is decorated with valuable vintage signage, posters and framed prints from over the last century, which are included in the sale of the premises. There has been a restaurant trading from this location for many years and now the premises is available for the next operator to take on and create their own chapter in the history of the restaurant.
