LOCATION
For many years Bude has been known as one of Cornwall’s most popular family seaside resorts, thanks to its large sandy beach, visitor accommodation and facilities. As a result the town has a brisk tourist trade, but the area known as Bude-Stratton also has a vibrant living and working community of over 18,000 that supports the development and growth of the local economy and makes use of the local shops, cafes, services and restaurants. Ongoing growth in the area includes the Binhamy Road housing development, which by 2023 will have added a further 420 houses. Bude-Stratton lies next to the ‘Atlantic Highway’ A39, which runs to Bideford (25 miles) and Barnstaple (34 miles) to the north, and down to Tintagel (19 miles) and Padstow (35 miles) to the south, and carries a regular bus service linking these coastal towns.
THE SITUATION
Situated within a part residential part commercial area known as Pethericks Mill, the premises overlooks Neet nature reserve and the coastal footpath with Bude Town Centre being a 10 minute walk away.
THE PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION
The premises was original a kiosk and tea gardens with our clients having developed the premises to create covered restaurant dining with glazed frontage overlooking the nature reserve, air conditioning and canvas roofing. Within the restaurant there are covers for 54 with a further 22 covers within 5 pods that have been created to provide private dining space. The original kiosk building provides the commercial kitchen, bar servery and preparation areas for the running of the business.
