Business description

Situated in the heart of Maidstone’s bustling town centre, the Restaurant occupies a prominent position on Earl Street, one of the town’s most established dining and leisure destinations. The area forms part of Maidstone’s vibrant retail and entertainment hub, drawing consistent footfall throughout the day and into the evening. Plans have been submitted to pedestrianise the street so it is prudent to say the restaurant will soon benefit from a pavement license and significant external trading space.

• These figures underline a robust trading foundation with scope to increase revenue through refreshed branding, improved marketing, and enhanced customer engagement.
• Annual rent: £55,000. A novation or reissue of a new lease can be arranged with the landlord, ensuring continuity for the incoming operator. The business trades across 2 floors and has 3 floors in total.
