Commercial Property in Ramsgate For Sale

EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY TO SELL!

A rare opportunity to acquire the commercial property together with the established The Lobster Pot restaurant business and its assets, offering a complete walk-in operation in the heart of Ramsgate.

Established in 1967, The Lobster Pot has formed part of the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast dining scene for generations. With its established name, distinctive character and prominent Ramsgate location, this property presents an opportunity to take over a complete restaurant operation with the infrastructure, furnishings, equipment and character already in place.

The restaurant offers a substantial floor area and has been designed to accommodate a sizeable dining operation. The interior includes multiple dining sections with seating for approximately 80 patrons, together with an exclusive-use outdoor seating area ideal for relaxed alfresco dining.

A large character-filled bar forms an important part of the restaurant and overlooks the main dining area. The venue also includes a dance floor and stage, creating opportunities for live entertainment, functions, private celebrations and special events.

Families are catered for with a separate enclosed children's play area, while the different dining sections allow the restaurant to accommodate various groups and functions while retaining its intimate atmosphere.

The operational areas include a large commercial kitchen, separate preparation areas, storage facilities, staff areas and ablutions. The established restaurant layout provides the infrastructure required for a substantial hospitality operation.

This property is being sold as a complete walk-in restaurant operation.

The sale includes the commercial building, the established restaurant business, furniture, fittings, equipment, stock, memorabilia, decorations and operational assets currently associated with the restaurant. This includes items such as tables, chairs, crockery, glasses, knives, forks, cutlery, serving items, bar equipment, kitchen equipment and other restaurant assets required for day-to-day operation.

An experienced staff complement is currently in place, providing an incoming operator with the benefit of an established team familiar with the restaurant and its operations.

The exclusive-use outdoor seating area also forms part of the restaurant offering, providing additional seating and an attractive outdoor dining environment.

The premises include established bar and service areas, ladies' and gentlemen's restrooms, air-conditioning and substantial back-of-house facilities.

The restaurant enjoys a strong position in Ramsgate, close to the coastline and popular beaches, with exposure to local residents, holidaymakers and visitors to the South Coast.

The property retains much of the character for which The Lobster Pot has become known, including its nautical theme, distinctive décor, large aquarium, memorabilia, established bar, dining areas and instantly recognisable lobster artwork.

This is far more than an empty commercial property. It offers the commercial building together with a complete restaurant business, its furniture, equipment, stock, fittings, décor and infrastructure already in place.

An incoming owner has the opportunity to walk in and continue operating, while still having scope to modernise, refresh or introduce new ideas over time.

With decades of history, an established restaurant layout, experienced staff, extensive equipment and a recognisable Ramsgate identity, The Lobster Pot presents a unique hospitality investment opportunity on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast.
