What should I consider before renting a restaurant?

Consider the location, footfall, nearby competition, size of the premises, kitchen facilities, extraction systems, licensing, business rates, and whether the layout supports your concept. Planning permission and permitted use are also key.

What is the typical lease length for a restaurant?

Most restaurant leases in the UK are between 5 and 15 years, often with a break clause or rent review after a set period. Short-term lets or pop-ups may be available in some areas.

Do I need planning permission to open a restaurant?

Yes, the premises must have the correct planning use class. Restaurants typically fall under Use Class E (formerly A3). If the premises does not have the correct use, you may need to apply for a change of use through the local council.

Usually not. Business rates are typically paid separately by the tenant. However, some landlords may offer rent packages that include rates or service charges. Always confirm what's included.
