Britannia

Based in the only desert in the UK and on a Site of Special Scientific Interest, the Britannia Inn is a food led, destinating dining pub & restaurant, boasting a unique location in Dungeness, Kent.

Set on the Southernmost tip of Kent in the Folkestone and Hythe District, Dungeness Estate is a National Nature Reserve famed for its remarkable variety of wildlife and striking backdrop of two decommissioned nuclear power stations. It is one of the largest shingle landscapes in the world and is home to over 600 different types of plants and invertebrate and an array of migrant and coastal birds. Sat between two lighthouses, the Britannia is the only pub on the Dungeness landscape and it is located just in front of the last stop on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, which dates back to 1927.

The Britannia is a classic example of a tourist led, destination dining site with an established seasonal trade that picks up between Easter and October each year. It opens from 10am daily, providing its customers with breakfast and lunch menus packed full of freshly made dishes, with the ever favourite ‘Fish & Chips’ as the best seller! Boasting extensive outside space, the pub is family and dog friendly with its very own café & ice-cream counter, where visitors flock when the Railway train arrives on the hour between 10am and 4pm daily.

Internally the L-shaped trade space at the Britannia is currently made up of two areas, the café for approx.25 covers and the main restaurant and bar area for approx.70 covers. There is also a good sized trade kitchen with ample storage space.

Outside, overlooking the vast, beautiful landscape the widespread garden area with bench seating for approx.100 covers, allows you to double your food and drink capacity during the warmer weather and it has plenty of private customer car parking.

The tenants private accommodation is set to the side of the building at the Britannia and it includes three double bedrooms, a large kitchen-diner and lounge, a bathroom and private garden.

The Britannia is on the market for the first time in over nine years and it has the potential to be available immediately for the right applicants on either the traditional tenancy model or a partnership agreement. This site presents a rare chance to create a land mark, dining destination business in a distinct setting, so it is looking for a passionate, hands-on operator with a strong food vision, who can unlock the full potential of this site and re-establish it as a must-visit venue in the area.
