High Street, South Queensferry, Edinburgh, EH30

Queen's Spice is a great opportunity to acquire a licensed restaurant situated in the busy town centre of South Queensferry.

Our clients are looking to secure a new tenant with experience to continue the long established reputation in the town. There are additional takeaway revenue streams that can add more profitability to the business.

The property is currently a managed operation and is available to rent immediately.

Queensferry, also called South Queensferry or simply "The Ferry", is a town to the west of Edinburgh, Scotland. Traditionally a royal burgh of West Lothian, it is now administered by the City of Edinburgh Council. It lies 10 miles to the north-west of Edinburgh City Centre, on the shore of the Firth of Forth between the Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing.

The prefix south distinguishes it from North Queensferry, on the opposite shore of the Forth for postal services. Both towns on the Forth derive their name from the ferry service established by Queen Margaret in the 11th Century, which continued to operate at the town until 1964, when the Road Bridge was opened.

The 2022 census counted 10,216 residents in South Queensferry, as it was listed at that time. Its population at the 2011 census was 9,026 based on the 2010 definition of the locality which in addition to the burgh includes Dalmeny.

Dalmeny House and Hopetoun House are two fine stately homes located on the outskirts of South Queensferry, and both are excellent attractions which boast lovely grounds, impressive architecture and historic artefacts.

The town is also a great place to start a coastal walk by joining the John Muir Way and following it through Dalmeny Estate towards Cramond Village.

Upon entering there is a small seating area for takeaway customers to sit and wait for their order.

The main restaurant area is a flexible space with c.28 covers, with loose tables and upholstered chairs than can be arranged to fit. A fully fitted bar servery with draught beer, spirit gantry and wine and beer fridges.

The back room off the main restaurant can be accessed via a ramp to a lower level, with a mixture of tables and upholstered chairs with c.22 covers.

Male an female toilets are located to rear of the restaurant, with a disabled access cubicle located next to the female toilets.

A fully fitted commercial kitchen is located to the rear of the building with ample storage for produce and further storage in the cellar below the restaurant.

All fixtures and fittings are included in the leasehold sale and are presented to a very high standard.

The business is in excellent turnkey condition and a rare opportunity to run a well established business in the heart of South Queensferry.

Queen's Spice would benefit from an experienced operator or couple who are keen to be hands on in the running of the business. The restaurant lends itself to a number of different opportunities/concepts.
