What should I consider before renting restaurant space?
Location, visibility, footfall and accessibility can have a major impact on a restaurant's success. It's also important to assess the size and layout of the premises, kitchen facilities, extraction systems, delivery access, licensing requirements and any restrictions on trading hours. Understanding the total occupancy cost, including rent, business rates and service charges, can help you budget effectively.
What lease lengths are typically available?
Restaurant leases are commonly offered on terms ranging from five to fifteen years, although shorter agreements and pop-up opportunities may also be available. Before signing, review any break clauses, rent review provisions and repair obligations carefully.
Do I need planning permission to open a restaurant?
The premises must have the appropriate planning permission for your intended use. While many restaurants operate within Use Class E, planning requirements can vary depending on the property and the nature of the business. If you're unsure, check with the local planning authority before committing to a lease.
What licences are required to operate a restaurant?
Requirements vary depending on the business. In addition to registering with the local authority as a food business, you may need a premises licence if you plan to serve alcohol, host entertainment or operate beyond standard trading hours.
Are business rates included in the rent?
Business rates are usually charged separately from rent unless the property is offered on an all-inclusive basis. It's important to confirm exactly what costs are included before signing a lease.

What should I look for in a lease agreement?
Key areas to review include permitted use, repair responsibilities, rent review provisions, service charges, signage rights, alterations and any restrictions on trading hours. Professional legal advice can help ensure you fully understand your obligations before committing.
Can I renovate or fit out the premises?
Many landlords allow tenants to undertake fit-out works, but significant alterations will usually require prior written consent. Depending on the proposed changes, additional planning or building regulations approvals may also be necessary.
How much does restaurant space cost?
Rental costs vary depending on location, size, condition and local demand. Prime high street and city centre locations often command higher rents, while secondary locations may offer more affordable options. It's also important to budget for fit-out costs, licences, deposits, utilities and business rates.
What features should I look for in a restaurant property?
Requirements will vary depending on your concept, but common considerations include kitchen and extraction facilities, customer seating capacity, storage space, delivery access, outdoor seating potential, visibility from passing traffic and proximity to complementary businesses.
