LET - Restaurant premises in Desborough, Kettering

CLOSED RESTAURANT PREMISES in Kettering

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire a fully licensed and beautifully appointed restaurant in a commanding main road position beside the Travel Plaza Hotel. The location alone provides enormous promise - the hotel serves a steady flow of business travellers and tourists yet offers no dining facilities of its own, creating a ready-made audience for breakfast, casual dining, and evening meals that an incoming operator can immediately tap into. Set between Market Harborough and Kettering, with excellent visibility from the A6 / B576, the surrounding residential population, passing traffic, and hotel guests collectively present a lucrative and largely untapped market. 

This is a sensibly priced and highly versatile restaurant opportunity offered with a new lease on appealing rental terms. In the right hands, it is a site with the potential to generate significant revenue. The combination of its superb trading position, excellent facilities, and the guaranteed footfall from the hotel next door makes this an outstanding proposition for an ambitious operator seeking a statement venue with considerable commercial upside.

The premises themselves are impressive from the moment of arrival. The main restaurant, able to accommodate around 90 covers, offers an elegant and spacious setting finished to a remarkably high standard. As seen in the images provided, the dining room features striking chandeliers that illuminate the marble tiled floor, creating an atmosphere that is both luxurious and inviting. The layout flows naturally from a welcoming reception area into a stylish cocktail bar and the open plan dining space, making the venue ideal for everyday dining as well as special events and private functions.

Beyond the main restaurant, a bright conservatory-style dining area provides a further 38 covers. This additional room is perfectly suited for a dedicated breakfast service, allowing a new operator to attract hotel guests first thing in the morning, guests who currently have no on-site dining option. This alone presents a substantial and recurring revenue stream. 

The commercial kitchen comprises a well-organised, stainless-steel environment equipped with a wide range of high grade cooking and preparation facilities, including a Rational Self Cooking Center. The kitchen’s layout and equipment levels allow for efficient service at high volume, making it suitable for a wide range of cuisines, from Italian or French to contemporary fusion concepts. Alongside this, operators will find a dedicated pot wash area within the kitchen, a beer and wine store, and well maintained ladies’, gents’, and accessible WC facilities.

Externally, the restaurant benefits from attractive garden areas, a feature fountain, a patio suitable for outdoor seating, and access to a vast shared car park serving both the restaurant and the adjacent hotel. This level of parking is rarely available and enhances the site’s suitability for destination dining, celebrations, and large bookings. EPC Band E

From sale to completion in less than 2 weeks

When the landlord of Fountain Fisheries in Yeadon, Leeds received the keys back from his Tenant, he instructed Ernest Wilsons to find a new Tenant to purchase the fixtures & fittings and sign a new lease. 

Immediately, the sales team contacted a number of Ernest Wilson clients whom had registered interest in fish & chips shops and several viewings were arranged for the following day. 3 offers were received and Ernest Wilsons, on behalf of the landlord, negotiated favorable terms and completion took place within 2 weeks.

Instruction to completion in 8 days!

When old clients of mine rang me to say that a Tenant of theirs had handed the keys back on their fish & chips shop and asked me to find a new Tenant, I arranged to meet with them as soon as possible - as the shop had only recently closed it was imperative that as much of the goodwill was preserved. They gave our agency instructions on 18th June 2014 to find them a Tenant and it was agreed a premium would be charged to cover the fixtures & fittings and our fees.

We immediately marketed the building to let and in a very short period of time, had a number of clients requesting further information and viewings.

Upon agreeing terms with an interested party, Solicitors were quickly instructed to issue a contract and lease to the party and I am pleased to confirm that completion took place today.

Both the landlord and new Tenant are extremely pleased with the transaction - the landlord as he has got a new Tenant and the Tenant as he has got a recently closed business for a very good price.

Whilst each sale/let is different, this is a clear example that there are buyers in the market and if clients selling are reasonable with their price, there is no reason why a sale cannot happen quickly.
