Heron

Purpose built in 1960’s, the Heron is a community-led pub & restaurant located in a prime spot next to the train station, in the vibrant seaside town of Herne Bay, Kent.

Herne Bay is an up-and-coming seaside town positioned on the north Kent Coast; it is located just six miles north of Canterbury city and a short hop from its neighbouring seaside town on Whitstable. It is bursting with grand Victorian architecture and houses, a bustling town centre, sandy and pebbled shores and a busy pier that hosts a range of food stalls, shops and seasonal live music and events.

The Heron has been providing a warm and friendly welcome to the Herne Bay families and locals since it first opened its doors. Open from 11am Tuesday to Sunday, it draws in a diverse and loyal customer base, from regulars enjoying their daily pint and catch up, to local clubs, darts teams, and sports fans gathering to watch the big game or enjoy a round of pool. It’s also a go-to venue for private functions and parties, and more recently wakes through a partnership with the local crematorium. During the fairer weather, from May through to September, the Heron makes the most of its outdoor space and hosts popular Saturday afternoon BBQs and live music sessions that brings in the crowds and creates a feel-good, relaxed atmosphere. It provides its customers with main and bar menus, both packed full of British pub favourites that are home cooked from scratch and it regularly features specials boards, steak nights and the good old fashioned Sunday roast.

Internally, the versatile layout at the Heron includes a central feature servery set between the main bar & restaurant area for 45.covers and the function/sports room for approx.50 covers. Outside, to the front of the property you will find a patio style garden with an outdoor bar area for approx.60 covers, together with private car parking to the side and rear of the building.

The tenants accommodation is set out on the first floor of the property and it includes three double bedrooms, a lounge/diner, kitchenette, bathroom and large, private roof terrace garden.

The Heron is on the market for the first time in sixteen years and it is available mid-August 26 on the traditional tenancy model. It presents an exciting opportunity for a new, hands-on operator to take it to the next level, with plenty of scope to build on and elevate the existing offer and trading hours.
