Swindon Retail to Rent

The Brunel Shopping Centre is a dominant retail and leisure destination in Swindon town centre, spanning 500,000 square feet of well-established trading space with over 100 occupiers currently in operation. Anchored by a strong mix of national multiples and popular brands, including Boots, LUSH, Pandora, Holland & Barrett, The Works, Card Factory, Shoezone, and Vision Express, the centre benefits from consistent footfall of around 21.2 million visitors per annum. Ideal for various retail, service, food and beverage, and mixed-use concepts, availabilities range from 558 square feet to a large 56,500-square-foot space, previously occupied by M&S, expanding possibilities for businesses, both big and small. Significant long-term confidence in the location is demonstrated by over £500 million of capital investment into Swindon town centre. Canal Walk forms the primary gateway into the retail core, linking Swindon bus and railway stations directly to the scheme, while Regent Street intersects Canal Walk to create one of the town’s busiest high streets. Havelock Square further strengthens connectivity as the main route between the Granville Street car park and Regent Street. The centre offers a varied retail experience across several distinct zones. Poundland and Iceland reinforce a strong convenience offer, supported by a range of coffee shops that drive daily trade. The Plaza provides a covered two-storey mall environment housing a blend of national retailers and quality independent operators, while The Crossing is a newly created daytime dining and social hub focused on specialist food and beverage brands. Brunel Shopping Centre is further enhanced by major surrounding development, including Wharf Green, a new mixed-use quarter delivering 250 luxury apartments alongside leisure, office and hotel space. An adjoining 750-space car park supports ease of access for shoppers and staff. Serving a primary catchment of approximately 266,800 people within a 15-minute drive and an average household income of £41,000 per annum, the centre is well-positioned to capitalise on continued growth. With 24,000 new homes planned across the wider catchment and further regeneration schemes underway, including Kimmerfields and the proposed redevelopment of the Oasis Leisure Centre, the Brunel Shopping Centre represents an attractive and forward-looking location for businesses seeking long-term presence in a thriving town centre environment.

Stratford Upon Avon Retail to Rent - Stratford-upon-Avon

No.9 Church St. is a grade II listed building of special architectural and historic interest located within the conservation area of Stratford-upon-Avon town centre. The three-storey property plus cellar, between the commercial centre and the "Old Town" district, dates from 1600, when Shakespeare would have passed by the original timber framed structure with later brick front, ground floor bay window, tile clay roof and dormer windows. The property has been continually let as a restaurant for over 15 years. Currently laid out as a small bar and reception and store to the ground floor, plus kitchen and access to the cellar, dining rooms to the first floor and private dining room, office and toilets to the second floor. The character building has been extensively renovated to blend stylish décor with the property's exposed period features, subtly lit by sophisticated lighting highlighting individual tables. The ground floor boasts a brick-built bar and fireplace offering a relaxed reception area, with a view of the modern kitchen to the rear. The first floor with two feature fireplaces offers the main dining areas for 30 covers, whilst the second floor offers a private dining room for parties up to 10 people, set beneath 400 year-old exposed timbers. Stratford-upon-Avon is a medieval market town in the Midlands, best known as the 16th-century birthplace of William Shakespeare. The town's 30,000 population is boosted by around five million visitors a year. There are three theatres run by the Royal Shakespeare Company attracting over one million visitors per annum. The town boasts many original buildings and a thriving community of leisure, accommodation and shopping venues. The property traded as No.9 Church St a well-known independent restaurant set inside a historic 17th-century building. It built a strong reputation for seasonal British cuisine with a modern twist, using local ingredients and offering a relaxed but high-quality dining experience. More recently the restaurant traded as Pick Thai a small, family-run Thai restaurant known for authentic home-style cooking and friendly service. With a strong pre-theatre restaurant clientele in the town the restaurant offers the potential to turn the tables 2 or 3 times per night. The Thai restaurant also had a strong take away and delivery business. In the words of the Bard himself... Attend, good sir, and lend thine ear to hear Of that fair house, No. 9 on Church Street plac’d, A structure mark’d of rank and grace, Of ancient worth and storied dignity, Within the guarded bounds of Stratford fair, Where Avon’s gentle breath doth stir the air. This noble pile, three storeys tall it stands, With cellar deep beneath its aged bones, Betwixt the mart of trade and Old Town’s heart, Hath watch’d the centuries in patient pride. First rais’d when sixteen hundred mark’d the year, When my yourself a playwrite did pass Beside its timber’d frame in youthful days. In later times, a brickéd face adorn’d Its ancient front; a bay upon the ground Doth graciously project; the roof of tile, With dormers peering like observant eyes, Keeps faithful watch above. For many years Fifteen and more—it serv’d as house of feast, Where patrons dine and merry converse share. Within, the careful hand of art hath wrought A marriage fair ‘twixt old and new design: The beams laid bare, time’s signature unhid, Are softly bath’d in lights of subtle craft, That each fair table glows in gentle warmth. The lower hall presents a hearth of brick, A bar well-built, where welcome first is giv’n, And from whose space the kitchen may be spied, In modern guise, yet fitting to the whole. Ascend thou next unto the upper floor, Where twin-set hearths bestow a noble air Upon the chambers made for feasting guests; And higher still, beneath four hundred years Of timber’d frame expos’d to reverent sight, A private room awaits selectéd souls Ten may there sup in quiet, gracious state, Enclos’d within the arms of history.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting A Restaurant in South West, England

Learn More
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.
